What are nitrogen oxides? Nitrogen oxides are a group of gases that are composed of nitrogen and oxygen. Two of the most common nitrogen oxides are nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide. The chemical formula for nitric oxide is NO; for nitrogen dioxide, it is NO2. Nitrous oxide, N2O, is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Nitric oxide is a gas with a sharp, sweet smell; it is colorless to brown at room temperature. Nitrogen dioxide is a colorless to brown liquid at room temperature
It was also revealed that in 1998, a single car in Nigeria emitted 29,600kg of hydrocarbons, 34,000kg of Nitrogen Oxides and 4,029 kg of different carbonate gasses over its average lifespan.[iii] CAUSES OF POLLUTANTS IN VEHICLE 5. Motor vehicle use is now generally recognised as the source of more air pollution than any other single activity in cities around
I. Volkswagen is one of the world’s best-known car manufacturers; unfortunately it has damaged its credibility and reputation with the recent emission scandal that the company was involved in. Volkswagen failed in establishing the triple bottom line, social responsibility, and sustainability. The long and commonly held belief was that the only responsibility of business was to maximize the wealth of its shareholders. Today, however, companies must be socially responsible and focus on what is now
chemicals created by the burning of fossil fuels. When coal and oil are burned they release sulfur dioxide (SO2) and two nitric oxides, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) designated by the symbol NOX. These dangerous chemicals come from the smoke that pours from factory chimneys and exhaust from car tail pipes. Once released, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with other chemicals in the air, water
Stakeholders As a multinational corporation, the implication of the scandal determines the fate of numerous stakeholders both internal and external. Internal stakeholders comprise of the board, managers and employees while external stakeholders subsume shareholders, customers and suppliers. The economic, political and social impacts of the dishonest practices would shape the fate of Volkswagen and affect the future prospects of the automotive industry. Common shareholders whilst not involved in
When a huge amount of nitrogen oxide is being emitted into the air it forms smog and acid rain. Acid rain can damage everything that it falls on mainly the environment; it contaminated human resources such as water and etc. Once the acid rain contaminates the water resources it deteriorates the water quality causing more nitrogen to be in the water. With more nitrogen present in the water it upset the chemical balance of nutrients/ minerals that are being consume by the aquatic plants and animals
An Error Residual Generator for Fault Detection and Isolation in a Data Acquisition System Used For Carbon Mono-Oxide & Nitrogen Oxide Monitoring Abstract— clean air is a basic necessity for all human beings living on earth, yet about 80% of world’s population breathes air that has pollutants which exceed the World Health Organization’s recommended level. Environmental air pollution has significant influence on the concentration of constituents in the atmosphere leading to effects like global warming
reaction of magnesium metal. While heated in the crucible, magnesium reacts with oxygen from the air, and the masses before and after the oxidation are measured. The resulting masses are used to calculate the experimental empirical formula of magnesium oxide. With the empirical formula, we can then compare it to the theoretical empirical formula. Using a crucible and a Bunsen burner, the magnesium metal will be heated to a burning. Simple combustion experiments conducted with crucibles, burners, and balances
empirical formula of magnesium oxide. The empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms or ions which is calculated by the percentage composition. Additional, molecular formula equal to “n(empirical formula)”. In this experiment, the magnesium will be heated in the air and produce magnesium oxide. However, magnesium could also combine with nitrogen gas when it is heated in the air. Thus, the ideal chemical reaction of “magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide” would be disrupted. Then the
