Nitrogen Frost-Ebsworth diagram, 261

Fig. 14.6. Potential diagram for nitrogen at pH = 0. A Frost-Ebsworth diagram for nitrogen is given in Figure 7.4c.

Explain how the Frost-Ebsworth diagram for nitrogen (Figure 7.4c) illustrates that NH30H (at pHO) is unstable with respect to disproportionation. 

Figures 8.4b and 8.4c show potential diagrams for phosphorus and nitrogen in aqueous solution with [H ]= Imoldm , and these diagrams are the subject of worked example 8.8. We shall make more use of potential (Latimer) diagrams than Frost-Ebsworth diagrams in later chapters in this book, but the latter can readily be constructed from data...
