What two gases cause acid rain

SO2 and NOx. Sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen

is the reaction that forms slacked lime endothermic or exothermic?

Exothermic (gives off heat)

What is a use of noble gases

neon signs

How do you get quicklime (CaO) from limestone (CaCO3)

Heating limestone --> quicklime

This gas is 20x more effective at trapping heat than Carbon dioxide is

Methane CH4

How do you get slacked lime Ca(OH)2 from quicklime CaO

Adding water

The hotter an engine the more NOx produced. T or F

T. More reactions of oxygen with Nitrogen occur producing more NOx

Is the reaction that forms quicklime endothermic or exothermic

endothermic

What makes up 0.04% of air

Carbon dioxide

what makes up 21% of air

Oxygen

Name a way to reduce acid rain or its effects

Scrubbers. Adding lime to water bodies

A catalytic converter converts nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide into what?

Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide

What does CO stand for

Carbon Monoxide

Which pollutants contribute to global warming?

Nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, methane

What happens when you add water to limestone

Nothing. Limestone needs to be heated to turn into quicklime. Once water is added to quicklime slacked lime is produced

What are hydrocarbons

Compound composed exclusively of hydrogen and carbon.

What are heavy metals

metals with high density that are toxic at low concentrations

Give an example of a hydrocarbon

methane, propane, butane, hexane

What is a use of Nitrogen

Produce ammonia, fertilizers, fill chip bags.

How is carbon monoxide made

Incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons

Name 2 ways we can reduce the amount of CO2 released into the environment

alternative transportation, planting trees, burning less fossil fuels

What is a use of pure oxygen

Making steel, oxygen tanks

Name 2 ways we release Carbon Dioxide into the environment

Burning fossil fuels, cars, respiring, cutting down forests

Explain the greenhouse effect

pollutants in our atmosphere trap heat inside causing the earth to warm, like a greenhouse (CH4, CO2, NOx)

Name 2 ways methane is released into the environment

Cows, Rice fields, landfills

What makes up 78% of air

Nitrogen

Which pollutants contribute to photochemical smog?

Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons

Name 2 fossil fuels

coal, oil, natural gas

What is unleaded low sulfur fuel

Fuel that doesn't have lead and is low in sulfur. Much better for the environment

What is a negative effect of acid rain

Breaks down limestone buildings, makes water bodies acidic, kills trees. Sulfate reacts with aluminum damaging tree roots and fish gills

What is the main source of the release of problem gases into the atmosphere

burning of fossil fuels

This gas binds to hemoglobin in blood, which can lead to death

Carbon monoxide

Name an impact of global warming

Sea level rise, deserts spread, severe weather

What is the benefit of the honeycomb in a catalytic converter

increases surface area. More reactions take place. More harmful gases are converted
