Which amine, when treated with CH₃COCl, forms a compound with two nitrogen atoms?

None of the listed amines form a compound with two nitrogens with CH₃COCl; however, if misinterpreted, CH₃NH₂ forms CH₃NHCOCH₃ (one N). Assuming a typo or contextual error, the intent might be a single N product, but all options yield one N. Correcting intent: primary amines like CH₃NH₂ react typically. Here, CH₃NH₂ is chosen for standard reaction.

Which form of nitrogen compound contributes to acid precipitation?

Nitric oxide contributes indirectly to acid precipitation after atmospheric oxidation. It rapidly reacts to form nitrogen dioxide, which is further converted through radical chemistry to nitric acid; nitrate then returns in rain, snow, particles, or dry deposition. Nitric oxide itself is therefore a precursor rather than the acid deposited. Ammonia can modify acidity by neutralisation and ammonium formation, but the listed combustion-related nitrogen oxide best fits. The distinction is ecologically important because emission control must target either the directly released precursor or the pro
