1. One of the components of polluted air that causes photochemical smog is NO (nitrogen monoxide). It is formed in the high-temperature environment of internal combustion engines in the reaction below. Explain why high temperatures are needed to convert N2 and O2 to NO. Hint: think bonds. N2e) + Oze) + 2NO) AH = 180 kJ

Question
1. One of the components of polluted air that causes photochemical smog is NO (nitrogen monoxide). It is
formed in the high-temperature environment of internal combustion engines in the reaction below. Explain
why high temperatures are needed to convert N2 and O2 to NO. Hint: think bonds.
N2(e) + Ozle) → 2NO
AH = 180 kJ
