Nitrogen monoxide, NO, is an atmospheric pollutant.

One source of nitrogen monoxide is from the gases from car engines. Explain how nitrogen monoxide is formed in a car engine and indicate how its emission can be limited. Formation : Limiting its formation : (b) (c) 3. (a) (b) (c) 4. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Nitrogen monoxide can react with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide. Write a balanced equation for the reaction. Why is nitrogen dioxide an atmospheric pollutant? A gas jar at room temperature contains 2 moles of chlorine gas and 1 mole of hydrogen gas. The gases are allowed to react together at a higher temperature. Write the equation for the reaction that takes place. Name the gases which will be present in the gas jar after the reaction. Moist red and blue litmus papers are introduced into the jar. Describe the colour change(s) to the litmus papers. Water and hydrogen peroxide are important compounds of hydrogen. Write the chemical formulae of water and hydrogen peroxide. What is the oxidation number of oxygen in hydrogen peroxide? What are the products when hydrogen peroxide is allowed to decompose slowly? Describe the colour change when acidified potassium manganate(VII) is added to hydrogen peroxide.
