Decomposition Of Nitrous Oxide

In the region of pressure 0 to 500 mrn approximately to the equation the thermal decomposition of nitrous oxide conforms approximately to the equation k = an /1 + a'n + bn , where k is the form al first-order rate constant, — (1/n) d n /d t , n the initial concentration and a, a' and b are nearly constant. Above about 100 m m this expression approximates to k = A + bn , which holds up to several atmospheres. Fresh and more detailed experiments have once again disproved the suggestion that the first term in these expressions is due to a surface reaction. (In certain states of reaction vessels, made of a particular brand of silica, a surface reaction may appear but is immediately recognizable by special criteria, and can be eliminated.) Detailed study of the formation of nitric oxide in the course of the decomposition, and of the effect of inert gas upon this process, shows that side reactions involving oxygen atoms, chain reactions and catalysis by nitric oxide play only minor parts in determining the shape of the k-n curve. The form of this curve, which is an inherent character of the reaction N 2 O = N 2 + O, raises theoretical questions of considerable interest.

Rate constants for the reactions O(3P) + HX → OH + X (X = Br, I) have been determined by a phase shift technique. Oxygen atoms were generated by modulated mercury photosensitized decomposition of nitrous oxide, and were monitored by the chemiluminescence from the reaction with nitric oxide. Over the temperature interval 298–554 K, the rate constants are satisfactorily represented by the Arrhenius expressions kO+HBr = (8.09 ± 0.86) × 109 exp (−3.59 ± 0.08)/RT and kO+HI = (2.82 ± 0.27) × 1010 exp (−1.99 ± 0.07)/RT, where the units are ℓ mol−1 s−1 and kcal mol−1. The indicated uncertainties are one standard deviation. The results of bond energy–bond order calculations, incorporating recently proposed modifications, are discussed.

Decomposition Of Nitrous Oxide

Ammonia is oxidized by nitrous oxide smoothly and homogeneously at temperatures between 658 and 730� and total pressures up to 250 mm. The products of reaction, nitrogen, water, and hydrazine are accounted for by a free-radical mechanism initiated by oxygen atoms which result from the thermal decomposition of nitrous oxide. Ammonia labelled with the 15N-isotope was used to distinguish between the nitrogen formed from the nitrous oxide and that from the ammonia. The kinetics follow an empirical rate equation, ������������� Rate = k'[N2O]1.56 + k"[N2O]0.61[NH3]. This is of a form which shows the importance of the ammonia molecule participating in the activation of nitrous oxide through bimolecular collision. Assigning a collisional efficiency of unity for like N2O-N2O collisions, the efficiency of ammonia in the process ������������ NH3 + N2O → NH3 + N2O* is determined as 0.85.
