Question
$\mathrm{NO}_{\mathrm{X}}$ (nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide) is one pollutant from automobiles. What elements must combine to form $\mathrm{NO}_{\mathrm{X}} ?$

Gasoline contains neither oxygen nor nitrogen. So where must these elements come from when $\mathrm{NO}_{\mathrm{X}}$ is formed in car engines?
$\mathrm{NO}_{x}$ is a generic term for the nitrogen oxides, $\mathrm{NO}$ and $\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ $\mathrm{NO}_{x}$ gases are air pollutants that react to form smog and acid rain. In order to reduce $\mathrm{NO}_{x}$ emission from vehicle, catalytic converters are installed in car exhausts to decompose NO and $\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ respectively into $\mathrm{N}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathbf{a})$ Write the balanced chemical equations for the decomposition of $\mathrm{NO}$ and $\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ respectively. (b) If the car produces $100 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{NO}_{x}$ a day, with equal mole ratio of $\mathrm{NO}$ and $\mathrm{NO}_{2}$, how many grams of $\mathrm{NO}$ and $\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ are produced respectively?
What atmospheric reaction produces nitrogen monoxide, NO?
