Gases are considered fluids. People often use the word fluid to mean liquid. However, the word fluid actually means any substance that can flow. Gases are fluids because they are able to flow. Gas particles can flow because they are relatively far apart and therefore are able to move past each other easily. In Figure i, a strip of copper is reacting with nitric acid to form nitrogen dioxide, a brown gas. Like all gases, nitrogen dioxide is a fluid. The gas flows over the sides of the beaker. 

The gases nitrogen dioxide and oxygen react to produce dinitrogen pentoxide gas. 

Oxidant gases Nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide ... 

The balanced equation for the reaction of the gases nitrogen dioxide and fluorine is... 

Consider the combination of nitric oxide and oxygen. Nitric oxide (a colorless gas) when mixed with oxygen gas (also colorless) becomes reddish-brown. The color is identical to that of another gas, nitrogen dioxide. All the properties of the nitric oxide-oxygen mixture are consistent with the conclusion that the gas nitrogen dioxide has... 

FIGURE 7.2 A gas spontaneously fills its container. A glass cylinder containing the brown gas nitrogen dioxide (upper piece of glassware in the top illustration) is attached to an evacuated flask. When the stopcock between them is opened, the gas spontaneously fills both upper and lower vessels (bottom illustration). The reverse process, in which the gas now in both vessels collects spontaneously back in the upper vessel, does not occur. 

One reaction that has been studied in detail is the thermal decomposition of gaseous dinitrogen pentoxide, N2Os, to give the brown gas nitrogen dioxide and molecular oxygen ... 

In previous chapters, we ve generally assumed that chemical reactions result in complete conversion of reactants to products. Many reactions, however, do not go to completion. Take, for example, the decomposition of the colorless gas dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) to the dark brown gas nitrogen dioxide (NO2). 

Action of heat on nitrates. For safety reasons this is best demonstrated as there are some serious hazards - molten potassium and sodium nitrates/ nitrite, decrepitation with lead nitrate and the emission of the poisonous gas, nitrogen dioxide. 

Nitric oxide gas, NO, and oxygen gas, 02, react to form the poisonous gas nitrogen dioxide, NOz, in the reaction shown below ... 

Heat of Reaction and the Tendency of the Reaction to Take Place. It has been pointed out in earlier paragraphs tiiat some reactions tliat take place are exothermic, and some are endothermic. A reacti()n that reaches a measurable equilibrium may be caused to go in either direction, by starting with one set of reactants or another. For example, the reaction involving tiie red gas nitrogen dioxide and the colorless gas dinitrogen tetroxide has a heat effect shown by the following equation ... 

Dinitrogen pentoxide decomposes to form oxygen and the orange-brown gas nitrogen dioxide. 

The tail gas nitrogen dioxide concentration from the stack of a nitric acid plant measures 0.20% by volume at 25°C and... 

Nitric acid, a very important industrial chemical, is made by dissolving the gas nitrogen dioxide, NO2, in water. Calculate the density of NO2 gas, in g/L, at 1.24 atm and 50.°C. 

Carbon disulfide is an important solvent for waxes and greases. Methane is the principal component of natural gas. Nitrogen dioxide is used for making nitric acid and is also an atmospheric pollutant. All three compounds contain covalent bonds in which the sharing of electrons is more or less equal. 

The brown gas nitrogen dioxide, NO2, is one cause of the haze over this skyline. 

The blue copper(ll) nitrate(V) will turn black upon heating (due to the formation of copper(ll) oxide). A brown pungent gas, nitrogen dioxide, is evolved which turns moist blue litmus red. 

Nitric oxide is a neutral, colourless gas, but mere contact with oxygen oxidizes it to the acidic, brown gas, nitrogen dioxide or peroxide. At normal temperatures this is a mixture of single and double molecules ... 

When nitrogen monoxide gas comes in contact with air, it oxidizes to the brown gas nitrogen dioxide according to the following equation ... 

Priestley tested the goodness of air, or what we would call its oxygen content, using nitric oxide, NO, a colorless gas that combines with oxygen to form the reddish-brown gas nitrogen dioxide, NO2. Why was it that dephlogisticated air produced four or five times as much nitrogen dioxide as common air Write an equation as part of your answer. 

Unlike nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide has properties more typical of an odd electron molecule. It is a coloured (brown), reactive gas which dimerises to the diamagnetic colourless gas dinitrogen tetroxide, N2O4. in which the odd electron is paired. The structure of dinitrogen tetroxide can be represented as a resonance hybrid of ... 

Reference methods for criteria (19) and hazardous (20) poUutants estabHshed by the US EPA include sulfur dioxide [7446-09-5] by the West-Gaeke method carbon monoxide [630-08-0] by nondispersive infrared analysis ozone [10028-15-6] and nitrogen dioxide [10102-44-0] by chemiluminescence (qv) and hydrocarbons by gas chromatography coupled with flame-ionization detection. Gas chromatography coupled with a suitable detector can also be used to measure ambient concentrations of vinyl chloride monomer [75-01-4], halogenated hydrocarbons and aromatics, and polyacrylonitrile [25014-41-9] (21-22) (see Chromatography Trace and residue analysis). 

Minor and potential new uses include flue-gas desulfurization (44,45), silver-cleaning formulations (46), thermal-energy storage (47), cyanide antidote (48), cement additive (49), aluminum-etching solutions (50), removal of nitrogen dioxide from flue gas (51), concrete-set accelerator (52), stabilizer for acrylamide polymers (53), extreme pressure additives for lubricants (54), multiple-use heating pads (55), in soap and shampoo compositions (56), and as a flame retardant in polycarbonate compositions (57). Moreover, precious metals can be recovered from difficult ores using thiosulfates (58). Use of thiosulfates avoids the environmentally hazardous cyanides. 

In the gas phase, methylene chloride reacts with nitrogen dioxide at 270°C to yield a gaseous mixture consisting mainly of carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen chloride (8). 

The NO analyzer is based on the principles of chemiluminescence to determine continuously the NO concentration in the sample gas stream. The analyzer should contain a NOg-to-NO converter, which converts the nitrogen dioxide (NO9) in the sample gas to nitrogen oxide (NO). An NOg-to-NO converter is not necessary if data are presented to demonstrate that the NO9 portion of the exhaust gas is less than 5 percent of the total NO9 concentration.
