Question

Dinitrogen and dioxygen. the main constituents of air do not react with each other in atmosphere to form oxides of nitrogen because (A) N 2 is unreactive in the condition of atmosphere. (B) Oxides of nitrogen are unstable. (C) Reaction between them can occur in the presence of a catalyst. (D) The reaction is endothermic and require very high temperature.

N 2+ O 2 xrightleftharpoons(1483-2000 K )2 NO (Endothermic and feasible at high temperature)

Q. Dinitrogen and dioxygen. the main constituents of air do not react with each other in atmosphere to form oxides of nitrogen because

$N_{2}$ is unreactive in the condition of atmosphere.

Oxides of nitrogen are unstable.

Reaction between them can occur in the presence of a catalyst.

The reaction is endothermic and require very high temperature.

$N_{2} + O_{2} (1483 - 2000 K) 2 NO$
(Endothermic and feasible at high temperature)
