Acidic oxide Some non-metal oxides, such as nitrous oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), do not display any acid/base characteristics. Acidic oxides can also react with basic oxides to produce salts of oxoanions: Acidic oxides are environmentally relevant. Sulfur and nitrogen oxides are considered air pollutants as they react with atmospheric water vapour to produce acid rain. Although it is difficult to classify these oxides as acids, the property is manifest in reactions with bases. For example, carbon dioxide reacts with alkali. For this reason, alkali is kept in stoppered vessels to inhibit reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide. In geochemistry complex silicates
Natural Bridges National Monument Solar Power System and maintenance costs by using a photovoltaic system. Also the environmental benefits include a reduction of air and noise pollution compared to diesel generators. The emissions reductions are estimated to be about of sulfur oxides, of nitrogen oxides, of carbon dioxide, and of carbon monoxide annually. Natural Bridges National Monument Solar Power System Natural Bridges National Monument Solar Power System is a demonstration plant using solar cells as the energy source. When it was dedicated in June 1980 by the Utah Governor, it was the world's largest solar plant at 100 kW. It is located in the southeastern portion of
