Nitrogen:nitrous oxide ratio

In the illumination of a ZnS sol, containing nitrous oxide and propanol-2, hydrogen and nitrogen are the gaseous products, and acetone and pinacol the condensed products. The acetone to pinacol ratio is 4 1, and the sum of the yields of the condensed products always equals that of the gaseous products. This is explained by the following mechanism ... 

The ratio of nitrogen formed in the photolysis of pure N20 to that formed under identical conditions in a nitrous oxide-ethane mixture is...

Nitrogen Is ESCA spectra (at an 18° electron take-off angle with respect to the surface) of polypropylene treated in flames containing 4% added nitrous oxide at four different flame equivalence ratios (equivalence ratio represents the most fuel-lean flame, while the 1.20 equivalence ratio represents the most fuel-rich flame. The constituent peaks are labeled as follows N5 nitrate at 408.1 eV N4 nitro and nitrite at 406.3 eV N3 nitrosoamine and nitroso at 402.4 eV N2 oxime, nitrosoamine, hydroxylamine, and amide at 400.9 eV and Nl amine and nitrile at 399.8 eV. The arbitrary y-axis represents the signal strength. 

By 1789, Lavoisier s experiments had established the Law of Conservation of Mass. In 1791 and 1797, respectively, Richter and Proust then showed that, for each compound studied, the reacting elements combine in a constant ratio now called the Law of Constant Composition. Dalton s experiments with nitrous oxide, nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide showed that when the reacting conditions for each oxide were present, only that oxide resulted and each data set obeyed the Law of Constant Composition. The evidence for three different combining ratios of nitrogen and oxygen led...
