Nitrous oxide N2O laughing

Once familiar with the system, we can dispense with the circles and abbreviate the picture. An example of variable valency in one compound is nitrous oxide, N2O ( laughing gas ), with nitrogen valencies of 3 and 5 ... 

Diethyl ether was the inhalation anesthetic of choice during my childhood. Happily, 1 had rather little need of it. Ether was replaced years ago by a family of superior inhaled general anesthetics, most of which are ethane derivatives. The notable exception is another very simple molecule, nitrous oxide, N2O, frequently known as laughing gas. N2O has been around for a long time and was once a party drug. ... 

Nitrous oxide (N2O, see Section 2.11) is a colorless, odorless gas with mildly anaesthetic properties (laughing gas). It is formed in Nature by bacterial reduction of nitrates. The electronic structure of this linear molecule is best understood by noting that it is isoelectronic with CO2, which is also linear. It is rather easily decomposed into N2 and 02, and so can support combustion. 

PROBLEM 7.12 Called "laughing gas," nitrous oxide (N2O) is sometimes used by dentists as an anesthetic. Given the connections N-N-0 draw two electron-dot resonance structures for N2O. 

Nitrous oxide, N2O, occasionally used as an anesthetic by dentists under the name "laughing gas," has Pvap = 100 mm Hg at — 110.3°C and a normal boiling point of —88.5°C. What is the heat of vaporization of nitrous oxide (in kj/mol) ... 

Write the empirical formulas for the following molecules (a) acetylene (C2H2), which is used in welding torches (b) glucose (C6Hi20g), a substance known as blood sugar and (c) nitrous oxide (N2O), a gas that is used as an anesthetic gas ( laughing gas ) and as an aerosol propellant for whipped creams. 

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is also called laughing gas. It can be prepared by the thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). The other product is H2O. (a) Write a balanced equation for this reaction, (b) How many grams of N2O are formed if 0.46 mole of NH4NO3 is used in the reaction ... 

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an inert, colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. When a mixture of about 40% nitrous oxide and air is inhaled for a few seconds, a condition resembling alcoholic intoxication is produced with much hilarity and laughter so that the oxide is known popularly as laughing gas. ... 

Start with a binary molecular compound. Note that a binary molecular compound is composed only of two nonmetal atoms—not metal atoms or ions. An example is dinitrogen monoxide (N2O), a gaseous anesthetic that is more commonly known as nitrous oxide or laughing gas. The naming of nitrous oxide is explained in the following rules. 

Nitrous oxide (N2O) Nitrous oxide is a colorless gas, commonly known as laughing gas, and is slightly soluble in water. It is an intermediate in the nitrogen cycle, and it resembles oxygen in its behavior when heated with combustible substances. It is an end product of denitrification and is also produced as a result of chemical reactions in the atmosphere. 

Nitrous oxide (N2O), also known as laughing gas, is one of the most common abused inhalants. It is an anesthetic gas. Inhalation can produce euphoria, dreaminess, tingling, numbness, as well as visual and auditory hallucination. Such effects arise from administering the gas diluted in oxygen, usually 30-35% mixed in oxygen. Inhalation of 100% N2O can cause asphyxiation and death. Many volatile organic compounds that have anesthetic properties can produce exhilaration and euphoria. These include diethylether, chloroform, and halothane. High doses of these substances can produce unconsciousness. 

Dinitrogen monoxide (N2O), more commonly called nitrous oxide or laughing gas, has an inebriating effect and has been used as a mild anesthetic by dentists. Because of its high solubility in fats, nitrous oxide is widely used... 

Sometimes solving one problem leads to another. One such example involves the catalytic converters now required on all automobiles sold around much of the world. The purpose of these converters is to remove harmful pollutants such as CO and NO2 from automobile exhausts. The good news is that these devices are quite effective and have led to much cleaner air in congested areas. The bad news is that these devices produce significant amounts of nitrous oxide, N2O, commonly known as laughing gas because when inhaled it produces relaxation and mild inebriation. It was long used by dentists to make their patients more tolerant of some painful dental procedures. 

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is also known as laughing gas because a person becomes giddy after inhaling a small amount. This colorless gas was the first substance used as a general anesthetic. It is used as the compressed gas propellant in several aerosols and foams, such as in whipped cream. It can be prepared in the laboratory by carefully heating ammonium nitrate to about 200 °C ... 

Common names are arbitrary names that are not based on the chemical composition of compounds. Before chemistry was systematized, a substance was given a name that generally associated it with one of its outstanding physical or chemical properties. For example, quicksilver is a common name for mercury, and nitrous oxide (N2O), used as an anesthetic in dentistry, has been called laughing gas because it induces laughter when inhaled. Water and ammonia are also common names because neither provides any information about the chemical composition of the compounds. If every substance were assigned a common name, the amount of memorization required to learn over 12 million names would be astronomical. 

Nitrous oxide (N2O), the laughing gas used as an anesthetic by dentists, is made by thermal decomposition of solid NH4NO3. Write a balanced equation for this reaction. What are the oxidation states of N in NH4NO3 and in N2O ... 

Determine the formula weights of each of the following compounds (a) nitrous oxide, N2O, known as laughing gas and used as an anesthetic in dentistry (b) benzoic acid, HC7H5O2, a substance used as a food preservative ... 

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is also called laughing gas. It can be prepared by the themnal decomposition of ammonium nitrate... 

Nitrous oxide (N2O), also called laughing gas, was first used as an anesthetic in 1799, and it is still in use today, even though when used alone it does not produce deep anesthesia. The first use of an ether, diethyl ether, to produce deep anesthesia occurred in 1842. In the years that have passed since then, several different ethers, usually with halogen sub-... 

Gases in the air, such as nitrogen and the noble gases (argon, xenon, etc), can reach the active site, but are inert and so do not bond to the iron. Nitrous oxide (NgO, laughing gas, see p37l), also binds reversibly to hemoglobin, which transports it to the brain where it acts as a sedative. This allows N2O to be used as a breathable painkiller or anesthetic, particularly by... 

Nitrous oxide, N2O is used as an oxidant gas and in dental surgery as a general anesthetic. This gas was once known as laughing gas, and was used in the late 1800s as a recreational gas at parties held by some of our not-so-staid Victorian ancestors. Nitrous oxide is a central nervous system depressant and can act as an asphyxiant. 

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an anesthetic commonly used for dental procedures. Because of the euphoria caused by inhaling it, N2O is commonly known as laughing gas. It is licensed for use as a food additive and as an aerosol propellant. It is used to displace air from potato chip bags to extend shelf life and as the propellant in whipped cream canisters. In recent years N2O has become popular as a recreational drug, due in part to its ready availability to consumers. Although N2O is legal, it is regulated by the FDA its sale and distribution for the purpose of human consmnption are not permitted.
