Answer to Question #140291 in Physical Chemistry for Dan McGrail

Question

If the oxygen concentration used in hydrogen combustion with air is increased, say from 21% to 50%, would there be less NO2 produced?

Answer 1

If the oxygen concentration used in hydrogen combustion with air is increased from 21% to 50% it would be more NO2. The amount of NO2 will increase with the increase of O2 and N2 concentation product according to concentration equilibrium constant Kc.
