Dinitrogen trioxide. Part VII. The absorption of nitric oxide by dinitrogen tetroxide and the preparation of pure dinitrogen trioxide
Abstract
The absorption of NO by liquid and solid N2O4 has been studied. For the liquid, the amount of N2O3 that can be obtained at any temperature is less than the equilibrium concentration. The rapid reaction with the solid suggests that NO and N2O4 are capable of direct reaction. The various methods for the preparation of N2O3 are critically examined.
