AN is a very stable materia even at 150° as indicated by the Vacuum Stability Test at that temp. It can be heated at 100° for 100 days without appreciable decompn. This does not appear to begin until the compd melts. At 220° there are formed nitrous oxide, water and nitrogen, and this reaction is used for the manuf of nitrous oxide. If an organic material such as cellulose is present, decompn of the mixt begins at 100° and is pronounced at 120°. Admixture with TNT has little, if any, effect on the stability of AN at temps lower than 120°... 

As shown in Table II, in the presence of polymer, the enclosed nitrous oxide is completely consumed during irradiation. In the place of nitrous oxide, nitrogen and water are formed. The yield of nitrogen or water corresponds stoichiometrically to the loss of nitrous oxide. A large G value, about 2000, is given for the disappearance of nitrous oxide. Estimation of the G value is based on the assumption that the available energy for the consumption is only that absorbed directly by the gas dissolved in the polymer solid. The G values for the formation of water and nitrogen should be equal to 2000. Moreover, the summation of the amount of the excess formation of crosslinks and unsaturation becomes stoichiometrically almost equal to the loss of nitrous oxide, as shown in Table III. The equation of material balance of nitrous oxide, therefore, should be written as follows ... 

Its chemical stability is fairly high and only an insignificant amount decomposes on prolonged boiling in water. Boiling in dilute sulphuric acid causes decomposition with the evolution of nitrous oxide, acetaldehyde and ethylene glycol.

Other substrates reduced by nitrogenase include azide (which gives ammonia, dinitrogen, and hydrazine) (151), diazomethane (ammonia and undisclosed products), nitrous oxide (dinitrogen and water), hydrocyanic acid (methane and ammonia), cyanide (methane and ammonia), methyl isocyanide, and other organoisonitriles (methylamine, methane, ammonia, ethane, and other higher hydrocarbons). 

Water vapor, carbon dioxide (82% of our emissions), methane (9%), nitrous oxide (5%), and aerosols (2%) are all greenhouse gases. Also, ozone blocks... 

Gases, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, tropospheric ozone, nitrous oxide, methane, and chloroflurocarbons (CFCs), are largely transparent to solar radiation... 

The temperature and density structure of the troposphere, along with the concentrations of major constituents, are well documented and altitude profiles have been measured over a wide range of seasons and latitudes for the minor species water, carbon dioxide, and ozone. A few profiles are available for carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and molecular hydrogen, while only surface or low-altitude measurements have been made for nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and nonmethane hydrocarbons. No direct measurements of nitric acid and formaldehyde are available, though indirect information does exist. The concentrations of a number of other important species, such as peroxides and oxy and peroxy radicals, have never been determined. Therefore, while considerable information concerning trace constituent concentrations is available, the picture is far from complete.

Hot air most important greenhouse gases are water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The amount by which an Eastern European country s Kyoto Protocol target exceeds its... 

In solution, a dissolved trace gas in equilibrium with the atmosphere would have the same partial pressure as the gas in the air. Its absolute concentration in terms of molecules or mass per unit volume of water depends on its solubility. Gas solubility varies over many orders of magnitude depending on the affinity of water for the gas molecules and the volatility of the gas. Gases range widely in their solubility in sea water, from the permanent gases like nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) that have a low solubility in sea...
