Nitrogen dioxide reaction with water

Nitropyrene was the sole product formed from the gas-phase reaction of pyrene with OH radicals in a NOx atmosphere (Arey et al, 1986). Pyrene adsorbed on glass fiber filters reacted rapidly with N2O5 to form 1-nitropyrene. When pyrene was exposed to nitrogen dioxide, no reaction occurred. However, in the presence of nitric acid, nitrated compounds were produced (Yokley et al, 1985). Ozonation of water containing pyrene (10-200 pg/L) yielded short-chain aliphatic compounds as the major products (Corless et al, 1990). A monochlorinated pyrene was the major product formed during the chlorination of pyrene in aqueous solutions. At pH 4, the reported half-lives at chlorine concentrations of 0.6 and 10 mg/L were 8.8 and <0.2 h, respectively (Mori et al, 1991). 

PROCEDURE. Appropriate volumes of ligand solution, metal-ion solution, acid and distilled water are pipetted into a titration cell, usually a double-walled beaker through which thermostatted water is flowed. The solution is stirred magnetically and blanketed with nitrogen to prevent reaction with carbon dioxide (and occasionally oxygen). Increments of titrant (usually standard base) are added and the pH is recorded after the addition of each increment. 

Nitric acid is a component of acid rain that forms when gaseous nitrogen dioxide pollutant reacts with gaseous oxygen and liquid water to form aqueous nitric acid. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (Note this is a simplified representation of this reaction.)... 

In the examples, a nitro group is substituted for a hydrogen atom, and water is a by-product. Nitro groups may, however, be substituted for other atoms or groups of atoms. In Victor Meyer reactions which use silver nitrite, the nitro group replaces a hahde atom, eg, I or Br. In a modification of this method, sodium nitrite dissolved in dimethyl formamide or other suitable solvent is used instead of silver nitrite (1). Nitro compounds can also be produced by addition reactions, eg, the reaction of nitric acid or nitrogen dioxide with unsaturated compounds such as olefins or acetylenes. 

Flame Temperature. The adiabatic flame temperature, or theoretical flame temperature, is the maximum temperature attained by the products when the reaction goes to completion and the heat fiberated during the reaction is used to raise the temperature of the products. Flame temperatures, as a function of the equivalence ratio, are usually calculated from thermodynamic data when a fuel is burned adiabaticaHy with air. To calculate the adiabatic flame temperature (AFT) without dissociation, for lean to stoichiometric mixtures, complete combustion is assumed. This implies that the products of combustion contain only carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur dioxide. 

A mixture of 300 ml. of water, 150 ml. of concentrated nitric acid, and 0.2 g. of sodium nitrite (Note 2) is placed in a 2-1. threenecked flask equipped with a stirrer and a thermometer. The stirred mixture is warmed to 45°, and 2 g. of l,2,4-triazole-3(5)-thiol is added. When oxidation starts, as indicated by the evolution of brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide and a rise in temperature, a bath of cold water is placed under the reaction flask to provide cooling and an additional 99 g. (total, 101 g. 1 mole) of 1,2,4-triazole-3(5)-thiol is added in small portions over the course of 30-60 minutes. The rate of addition and the extent of cooling by the water bath are so regulated as to keep the temperature close to 45 7° all during the addition. The water bath is kept cold by the occasional addition of ice.

Investigation into the effect has been mainly devoted to reactions with red fuming nitric acid . It seems that in red fuming nitric acid a preliminary reaction results in the formation of a surface deposit of finely divided metallic titanium ignition or pyrophoricity can then be initiated by any slight impact or friction. The tendency to pyrophoricity increases as the nitrogen dioxide content of the nitric acid rises from zero to maximum solubility at about 20%, but decreases as the water content rises, the effect being nearly completely stifled at about 2% water. 

H.20 The first stage in the production of nitric acid by the Ostwald process is the reaction of ammonia gas with oxygen gas, producing nitric oxide gas, NO, and liquid water. The nitric oxide further reacts with oxygen to produce nitrogen dioxide gas, which, when dissolved in water, produces nitric acid and nitric oxide. Write the three balanced equations that lead to the production of nitric acid.
