Agitation nitrous oxide

Severe withdrawal symptoms, including insomnia, irritability, agitation, withdrawal seizures, and delirium, have been described in both mice and humans chronically exposed to the anesthetics nitrous oxide, ether, and isoflurane (Arnold et al. 1993 Delteil et al. 1974 Deniker et al. 1972 Harper et al. 1980 Smith et al. 1979 Tobias 2000). These symptoms were controlled with the administration of y-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic agents such as pentobarbital, midazolam, and diazepam (Arnold et al. 1993 Hughes et al. 1993). 

H. G. de Claubry found that when nitroxylsulphonic acid is heated with mercury, there is formed mercuric sulphate, sulphur dioxide, nitric oxide, and nitrogen and G. Lunge said that when a soln. in cone, sulphuric acid is shaken with mercury, nitric oxide and sulphuric acid are quantitatively formed and F. Rasehig observed that the reaction is completely inhibited by mercury, possibly with the formation of hydroxynitrosylsulphonic acid. A. Graire found that the acid is not reduced further than nitric oxide by agitation with mercury but if sulphur dioxide is present, some nitrous oxide may be formed. J. W. Dobereiner found that a soln. of nitroxylsulphonic acid in cone, sulphuric acid oxidizes mercury copper, silver, Zinc, and iron, and the liquid is coloured red, violet-blue, or purple and J. J. Berzelius added that nitric oxide is at the same time evolved. J. W. Dobereiner... 

To prevent water occlusion. Without agitation, Villard (1896) showed, for example, that nitrous oxide hydrate formation was continuous for a period longer than 15 days under a pressure of 2 MPa. Villard also determined that in previous research the ratio of water to guest molecules had been analyzed as greater than G 6H20 (Villard s Rule) due to either occlusion of water within the hydrate mass, or due to the loss of the guest component. 

DIMETHYLPROPANE (463-82-1) Flammable gas (flash point <19°F/<-7°C). Violent reaction with strong oxidizers. Reacts with acetylene, halogens, and nitrous oxides. Flow or agitation of substance may generate electrostatic charges due to low conductivity.
