Chapter 12, Problem 11QRT
The atmosphere consists of about 80% N2 and 20% O2, yet there are many oxides of nitrogen that are stable and can be isolated in the laboratory.
- (a) Is the atmosphere at
chemical equilibrium with respect to forming NO? - (b) If not, why doesn’t NO form? If so, how is it that NO can be made and kept in the laboratory for long periods?
