Nitrous oxide: why the environment isn't amused about laughing gas

SOLVED: Nitrogen dioxide, a major air pollutant, can be produced by the combustion of nitrogen oxide as shown: 2NO O2 → 2NO2. In a plant, 1,500 kg of nitrogen oxide is consumed per day to produce 1,500 kg of nitrogen dioxide per day. What is the percent yield?

Nitrogen (II) oxide and nitrogen (IV) oxide are some of the gases released from car exhaust pipes.

SOLVED: Pure nitrogen dioxide (NO2) forms when dinitrogen oxide (N2O) and oxygen (O2) are mixed in the presence of a certain catalyst. What volumes of N2O and oxygen are needed to produce 4.0 L NO2 if all gases are held at thesame conditions of temperature and pressure?

SOLVED: Dinitrogen tetraoxide and nitrogen dioxide are two gases that exist in equilibrium at a range of temperatures. NO2 is a reddish-brown gas, while N2O4 is colorless. At high temperatures, the red color is strong. At low temperatures, the gas has less color. If we represent the equilibrium as: 2 NO2(g) ⇌ N2O4(g), we can conclude that:This reaction is: A. Exothermic B. Endothermic C. Neutral D. More information is needed to answer this question.When the temperature is increased, the equili
