Denitrification involves the sequential formation of nitrite, nitric oxide, and nitrous oxide. Two aspects of nitric oxide have attracted attention (a) chemical oxidation of biogenic nitric oxide to Nq, in the context of increased ozone formation (Stohl et al. 1996) and (b) the physiological role in mammalian systems (Feldman et al. 1993 Stuehr et al. 2004), in parasitic infections (James 1995), and in the inhibition of bacterial respiration (Nagata et al. 1998). Nitric oxide may be produced microbiologically in widely different reactions such as... 

Dalton s work provided a system for representing chemical reactions, but inevitably, conflicts arose when trying to resolve Dalton s idea on chemical combination with experimental evidence. According to Dalton, one volume of nitrogen gas combined with one volume of oxygen to give one volume of nitrous gas (nitric oxide). Dalton referred to combination of atoms as compound atoms. Using Dalton s symbols, this reaction would be represented as... 

Nitrous Oxide, Ozone, and Nitrogen Dioxide.28 I(52Py2) undergoes slow, spin orbit relaxation in the presence of nitrous oxide (Table IX) rather than chemical reaction according to... 

All of the above radicals are associated with a corresponding radical or element in a compound. While a radical frequently and rather generally enters into chemical reaction as a unit, it is not implied [hat this is always so, the stability in each case is characteristic of each radical and each reaction in which it is involved. Thus, ammonium hydroxide NH4OH yields ammonia gas NHr and water I liO at room temperature, ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 is decomposed, upon heating, with the accompanying disruption of both the ammonium and nitrate radicals 10 yield nitrous oxide NjO gas and water HiO... 

The chemical reactions in the preparation appear to be as follows. (1) The alcohol is oxidized to acetaldehyde, and (2) the nitrous acid which is formed attacks the acetaldehyde to form a nitroso derivative which goes over to the more stable, tautomeric, isonitroso form. 

Silicon Dioxide. Si02 layers produced by PECVD are useful for intermetal dielectric layers and mechanical or chemical protection and as diffusion masks and gate oxides on compound-semiconductor devices. The films are generally formed by the plasma-enhanced reaction of SiH4 at 200-300 °C with nitrous oxide (N20), but CO, C02, or 02 have also been used (238-241). Other silicon sources including tetramethoxysilane, methyl dimethoxysilane, and tetramethylsilane have also been investigated (202). Diborane or phosphine can be added to the deposition atmosphere to form doped oxide layers. 

The economic estimation based on the pilot unit results showed that ammonia contributes 70% to the prime cost of the N20. Using this result and the ammonia price 0.37 kg-1 [191], one can evaluate the N20 price to be 0.53 kg-1. Certainly, this cost far exceeds that of dioxygen. Therefore, for reactions producing inexpensive products, like the oxidation of methane to methanol, the application of N20 cannot be economically sound. However, this modest cost opens great N20 prospects for the preparation of more expensive chemical products. For instance, the theoretical expenditure for N20 in the oxidation of benzene to phenol is 17%, and in the oxidation of phenol to hydroquinone is 4%, of the cost of the target product. The commercial viability of such processes will depend primarily on their technological advantages rather than the cost of nitrous oxide.
