Freeman and Hoare126 have shown by chemical and spectral methods that heating DMAD with 4//-pyrazol-4-one jV,./V -dioxides (126) and monoxides gave 8-oxabicyclo[3,2,l]octane derivatives (130) and nitrous oxide, via 127-129. At room temperature the intermediate (128) was isolated. With EP and 131 the nitrogen-free, 1 2 adduct 132 was obtained in low yield along with 20% of the pyrimidine 133.127... 

Asphyxiates paralyze the respiratory center and weaken the body. They disturb the maintenance of an adequate oxygen supply to different systems in the body. The most common asphyxiates are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, cyanides, helium, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide. 

Combustion of fuels produces and releases pollutants such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Air pollutants are also released by some household products—for instance, paints, paint strippers, solvents, wood preservatives, aerosol sprays, cleansers and disinfectants, moth repellents, stored fuels, and automotive products. 

Some dense inorganic membranes made of metals and metal oxides are oxygen specific. Notable ones include silver, zirconia stabilized by yttria or calcia, lead oxide, perovskite-type oxides and some mixed oxides such as yttria stabilized titania-zirconia. Their usage as a membrane reactor is profiled in Table 8.4 for a number of reactions decomposition of carbon dioxide to form carbon monoxide and oxygen, oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen and nitrous oxide, oxidation of methane to syngas and oxidative coupling of methane to form C2 hydrocarbons, and oxidation of other hydrocarbons such as ethylene, methanol, ethanol, propylene and butene. 

Applying Concepts The following equations show redox reactions that are sometimes used in the laboratory to generate pure nitrogen gas and pure dinitrogen monoxide gas (nitrous oxide, N2O). 

Silvery-white metal hexagonal dose-packed structure-Slowty oxidizes in moist air. Available as bars, ribbons, wire and powder, mp 651°. bp 1100°. dM 1,738. Sp heat (20°) 0.245 cal/g. Heat of fusion 88 cal/g. Electrical resistivity 4.46 fiohm-cm, E° (aq) MgJ + /Mg —2.37 V. Reads very slowly with water at ordinary temp, less slowly at 100°. Reacts readily with dil adds with liberation of hydrogen reacts with aq solns of ammonium salts, forming a double salt. Reduces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitric oxide, and nitrous oxide at a red heat. Burns in air continues to bum in a current of steam. Combines directly with nitrogen, sulfur, the halogens, phosphorus, and arsenic, Reacts with methyl alcohol at 200° giving magnesium methylate.
