About this lab
Route nitrogen and sulfur species through their reactions on an oxidation-number ladder, from engine exhausts and acid rain to ammonia as a base.
You will be able to
Explain the lack of reactivity of nitrogen, and describe the formation of oxides of nitrogen and their catalytic removal from exhaust gases.
Describe the role of NO and NO2 in the formation of acid rain, including the catalytic oxidation of atmospheric sulfur dioxide.
Describe and explain the basicity of ammonia, the formation of the ammonium ion and the displacement of ammonia from ammonium salts.
