Nitrogen pentoxide formation

At room temperature, Htde reaction occurs between carbon dioxide and sodium, but burning sodium reacts vigorously. Under controUed conditions, sodium formate or oxalate may be obtained (8,16). On impact, sodium is reported to react explosively with soHd carbon dioxide. In addition to the carbide-forrning reaction, carbon monoxide reacts with sodium at 250—340°C to yield sodium carbonyl, (NaCO) (39,40). Above 1100°C, the temperature of the DeviHe process, carbon monoxide and sodium do not react. Sodium reacts with nitrous oxide to form sodium oxide and bums in nitric oxide to form a mixture of nitrite and hyponitrite. At low temperature, Hquid nitrogen pentoxide reacts with sodium to produce nitrogen dioxide and sodium nitrate. 

Smog formation in the atmosphere is caused by such reaction. Nitrogen dioxide is rapidly oxidized by ozone to form nitrogen pentoxide ... 

E+AH was found to be 28,300 and E for simple nitrogen pentoxide molecules has been found repeatedly to have the value 24,700. The heat of formation of the solvated molecules is then 3,600 calories. 

Nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen trioxide, nitrogen dioxide, dinitrogen te-troxide, nitrogen pentoxide their properties, method of formation, and electronic structure. 

Oxygen exchange between hydrogen peroxide and nitrate ion probably involves nitrogen pentoxide, with formation of pernitric acid HOO.NO2. 

Thus, the highest oxides or chromium(VI) and molybdenum(VI) were established to destroy molten KN03 with subsequent evolution of N02 termination of this destruction resulted in stabilization of the pO values of the melt [67], This value determined by the method of potentiometric titration was found to reduce as the temperature of the melt was elevated considerably. Such a behaviour of the acidic solution in the nitrate melt was explained by the formation of nitrogen pentoxide, N2Os, or nitronium cation, NOj, in the acidic solution, together with the corresponding oxoanions of Cr(VI) and Mo(VI). Since the added acids are very strong, their reaction with the melt... 

The paraffin chain shows high reactivity toward nitric anhydride [4]. The reaction of nitrogen pentoxide (N O ) with paraffins and cyclohexane occurs quickly even at 0 °C in a solution of CCl with the formation mainly of secondary alkyl nitrates and nitro compounds. This reaction is intensified by a very active NO3 radicals resulting from the homolytic dissociation ...
