On what reaction does a chemiluminescence nitrogen oxides analyser depend?

  • A.Nitrogen dioxide absorbing ultraviolet light and fluorescing
  • B.Nitric oxide burning in a hydrogen flame to give ions
  • C.Nitrogen dioxide reacting with a colour forming reagent
  • D.Nitric oxide reacting with ozone to give excited nitrogen dioxide

Answer: D

Ozone oxidises nitric oxide, and a fraction of the nitrogen dioxide formed is electronically excited and emits light in the red and near infrared as it relaxes, the intensity being proportional to the nitric oxide present. To measure total oxides of nitrogen the sample is first passed through a converter that reduces nitrogen dioxide back to nitric oxide, and the difference between the two modes gives the dioxide. The other options describe the sulphur dioxide analyser, the flame ionisation detector and a wet chemical method.
