Oxygen nitric oxide

We have not yet distinguished the gases nitric oxide, hydrogen, and oxygen. Nitric oxide has its own personality. Immediately upon exposure to air, the colorless nitric oxide becomes reddish-brown—exactly the color of nitrogen dioxide. Neither oxygen nor hydrogen behaves this way. 

Consider the combination of nitric oxide and oxygen. Nitric oxide (a colorless gas) when mixed with oxygen gas (also colorless) becomes reddish-brown. The color is identical to that of another gas, nitrogen dioxide. All the properties of the nitric oxide-oxygen mixture are consistent with the conclusion that the gas nitrogen dioxide has... 

Possible equilibrium involved in the rapid activation of soluble guanylate cyclase and the slower inactivation by reaction of nitric oxide with oxygen. Nitric oxide dissolved in membranes may be more stable than in solution, because the nitrosyldioxyl radical cannot be stabilized by hydrogen bonding to water. 

Smith and Chalk [49] achieved a complete separation of oxygen, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide on a column packed with a molecular sieve of 5 A (100-120 mesh), programmed between 35 °C and 250 °C at 39 °C/m. 

Ammonia and hydrazine formation was also observed when a neat semiconductor or semiconductor (Ti02, W03) doped with metal ions other than Fem (Cr, Mn, Co) were used as photocatalyst [23,24], In the presence of oxygen nitric oxides and nitrates can also be formed. 

The internal and external heavy atom effects, IHA and EHA, have attracted a considerable attention in the community of molecular spectroscopists. This is part of an old problem of understanding environmental effects from solvents or solid matrices on S-T absorption or on phosphorescence of solute molecules. For higher temperature studies the triplet decay is quenched either by collision or by vibrational interaction with the matrix or the solvent. The molecules subject to studies in this respect have mostly been aromatic molecules perturbed by molecular oxygen, nitric oxide or other paramagnetic molecules, molecules either with heavy atoms and/or forming charge transfer complexes.

In turn, these free radicals may react with atomic or molecular oxygen, nitric oxide, and nitrogen dioxide without necessarily sacrificing the ozone present.

This is the most explosive of the nitrate esters. Not only will it bum in an atmosphere of oxygen, nitric oxide or nitrogen dioxide, but also it can support a stationary decomposition flame which can be stabilized on a burner [122]. At low pressures the various zones of the decomposition flame are clearly separated and the early stages show strong formaldehyde bands in emission.

For the diatomic molecules that were studied—nitrogen, oxygen, nitric oxide, and carbon monoxide—the concept of a Coulomb explosion appears to be relevant. The yield of atomic ions is high, 93% to 97%, and the ion kinetic energies of around 7 eV for +1 ions and about twice this value for -1-2 ions are consistent with the Coulomb repulsion model. For the polyatomic molecules the situation is different. The yield of atomic ions drops to 85% for carbon dioxide and to 74% for carbo i tetrafluoride. For excitation of a core to bound state resonance in nitrous oxide, involving the terminal nitrogen atom, the yield of atomie ions is only 63% (Murakami et al. 1986). These molecules do not simply explode following excitation of a core electron. 

Retardation and Inhibition. In order to obtain additional information on the polymerization process, various potential inhibitors or retarding agents were added to carbon suboxide, and the rate of polymer deposition from the gas phase was quantitatively studied at 100°C. To the monomer at a pressure of 330 mm Hg was added either an equimolar quantity of inhibitor based on pressure measurements, or room temperature vapor pressure of additive if less than 330 mm Hg. The additives used were oxygen, nitric oxide, 3-methyl-1-butene, 1,3-butadiene, acetone and acetaldehyde. Polymerization rates were followed by ESR measurements. 

A hot platinum wire glows when held over a concentrated ammonia solution. The oxidation of ammonia to produce nitric oxide and water, catalyzed by platinum, is highly exothermic. This reaction is the first step toward the synthesis of nitric acid. The models show ammonia, oxygen, nitric oxide, and water molecules.
