STUDY COMPENDIUM

โ—‰ How is carbon dioxide formed. Answer: Complete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels โ—‰ potential problems of carbon dioxide. Answer: greenhouse gas causing global warming โ—‰ ways to reduce the potential problems of carbon dioxide. Answer: by burning less fuel โ—‰ How is carbon monoxide formed. Answer: By the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons โ—‰ potential problems of carbon monoxide. Answer: its toxic and a silent killer (no smell) โ—‰ How to reduce the potential problems of carbon monoxide?. Answer: Ensure there is a good supply of air/oxygen when burned โ—‰ How is carbon formed?. Answer: incomplete combustion

โ—‰ potential problems of carbon. Answer: blackens buildings + global dimming โ—‰ how to reduce the potential problems of carbon. Answer: ensure there is a good supply of oxygen when burned โ—‰ How is sulfur dioxide (SO2) formed?. Answer: combustion of S (reaction with oxygen) in fuel โ—‰ potential problems of SO2. Answer: acid rain โ—‰ How to reduce the potential problems of SO2. Answer: Remove S from fuel before burning OR remove SO2 from fumes after burning (flue gas desulfurization) โ—‰ Examples of nitrogen oxides. Answer: NO, NO2, N2O โ—‰ How are nitrogen oxides formed?. Answer: reaction between nitrogen and oxygen in the air at very high temperatures

โ—‰ How can carbon monoxide be removed from exhaust gases?. Answer: by CATALYTIC CONVERTERS on cars โ—‰ What do catalytic converters on cars do?. Answer: They remove unburnt hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen from the exhaust โ—‰ How are oxides of nitrogen produced?. Answer: When high pressure and temperature in a CAR ENGINE cause the nitrogen and oxygen atoms from the air to react together โ—‰ Where do hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides react in?. Answer: the presence of sunlight โ—‰ What do hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides react in to form?. Answer: They react in the presence of sunlight to form GROUND LEVEL OZONE (O3) โ—‰ What is ground level ozone? (O3). Answer: a major component of smog โ—‰ What can ground level ozone do?. Answer: it irritates peoples eyes aggravates respiratory problems even causes lung damage

โ—‰ What happens when fossil fuels containing sulfur are burnt?. Answer: The sulfur reacts to form sulfur dioxide gas โ—‰ What happens if sulfur dioxide gas gets into the atmosphere?. Answer: It dissolves in the moisture and is converted into sulphuric acid โ—‰ What causes acid rain?. Answer: Sulphuric acid โ—‰ What does acid rain do?. Answer: - Destroy trees and vegetation

  • corrodes building and statues
  • kills fish in lakes โ—‰ Fortunately, what can sulfur dioxide be removed from before it gets into the atmosphere?. Answer: from power station flue gases โ—‰ What is mixed with water to make an alkaline slurry?. Answer: Powdered calcium carbonate (limestone) or calcium oxide โ—‰ What happens when the flue gases mix with the alkaline slurry?. Answer: The acidic sulfur dioxide gas reacts with the calcium compounds to form a harmless salt โ—‰ What is the harmless salt?. Answer: calcium sulfite
