Oxides of nitrogen can be formed from Select one: a. air at high temperature b. gasoline and nitrogen c. oxygen and nitrogen when compressed d. oxygen and nitrogen at atmospheric pressure Clear my choice

Respuesta :

Answer:

Answer is

a. Air at high temperature

Explanation:

The oxides of nitrogen are formed when the combustion / lightning / spark is carried out in the presence of air. High temperature is achieved during combustion which converts the nitrogen into NOx.

The answer is a because when very high temperature is achieved in air (mainly due to combustion process) the nitrogen reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides.

b is not the answer because gasoline does not react with the nitrogen directly.

c is not the answer because air can be compressed to high pressures without any reaction between nitrogen and oxygen.

d is not the answer because air we breath in is at atmospheric pressure and both gases in air doe not react with each other.
