2. High temperatures in the automobile engine cause nitrogen and oxygen gases from the air to combine to form nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2). What two acids in acid rain result from the nitrogen oxides in automobile exhaust

1. HNO3

2. HNO2

Explanation:

Nitrogen acid may refer to any of:

1. Nitric acid, HNO3 or

2. Nitrous acid, HNO2

Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compound like nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain. nitrogen oxides dissolve very easily in water and can be carried very far by the wind. As a result, the compounds can travel long distances where they become part of the rain, sleet, snow, and fog as acids.

Equation of reaction:

NO2 + H2O ==> HNO3

NO + H2O ==> HNO2

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
