Question

Due to lightning, atmospheric nitrogen combines with oxygen to produce nitrogen monoxide
(NO). Give the chemical equation of this reaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nitrogen combines with oxygen in the atmosphere during lightning flashes to form nitrogen monoxide, NO, which then reacts further with O2 to produce nitrogen dioxide, NO2, according to the following equation:N2 (g) + O2 (g) --> 2 NO (g)2 NO (g) + O2 (g) --> 2 NO2 (g)
