Pollutants nitrogen oxides

The exhaust gas from an average automobile contains 206 ppm of the pollutant nitrogen oxide, NO. If an automobile emits 125 L of exhaust gas at 1.00 atm and 350 K, what mass of NO has been added to the atmosphere ...

CASE 1 ODD-ELECTRON MOLECULES The electrons in a Lewis diagram that satisfies the octet rnle must occur in pairs—bonding pairs or lone pairs. Any molecule that has an odd number of electrons cannot satisfy the octet rule. Most stable molecules have even numbers of electrons, bnt a few have odd numbers. An example is nitrogen oxide (NO), a stable (althongh reactive) molecule that is an important factor in air pollution. Nitrogen oxide has 11 electrons, and the best electron dot diagram for it is... 

At local and urban levels, it is essentially a question of vicinity pollution. Several air pollutants are concerned sulphur dioxide, SO2 (primary pollutant) nitrogen oxides NO (primary or secondary pollutants) particulate matter PM (primary and secondary pollutants) carbon monoxide, CO, (primary pollutant) (volatile) organic compounds, HC (or VOCs) (primary and secondary pollutants), and photochemical oxidants, O3, PAN (secondary pollutants). Organic compounds account for a wide range of hydrocarbons and are found in solid, liquid, and gas forms. 

Leaching of nitrogenous fertilizers from agricultural land and nitrogenous materials in sewage cause serious water pollution. Nitrogen oxides are widespread source of acid rain/... 

Air Pollution Nitrogen oxide, which is present in urban air pollution, immediately converts to nitrogen dioxide as it reacts with oxygen. 

The two great advantages of the FBC are that it can be fired by a wide variety and mix of solid fuel particles, including coal, solid wastes, biomass, or natural gas and it generates much less pollution because of the use of sorbent in the fluid to catch sulfur. It is able to burn fuel at lower temperatures where oxygen and nitrogen of the air fluid do not yet react to form the pollutant nitrogen oxide.
