How would Nitrous Oxide dissolved at temperature of 350 degrees

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the decomposition of nitrous oxide (N2O) at a temperature of 350°C. Initially, there is confusion over the term "dissolve," which is clarified to mean "decompose." At high temperatures, N2O is expected to decompose, primarily breaking the bond between nitrogen and oxygen. The conversation highlights that instead of fully decomposing into nitrogen ions, the nitrogen atoms may form a triple bond, resulting in molecular nitrogen (N2). Additionally, there is mention of potential oxidation products such as NO, NO2, N2O3, or N2O5, indicating that N2O may not simply decompose but could also undergo further chemical transformations. The need for more specific details about the context of the decomposition is emphasized for a deeper discussion.

I'm wondering if the nitrous oxide will totally dissolve at temperature of 350'C?

Hello,

You'd better give some more information about your query. For example, what do you really mean with "dissolve"? If you mean disentegration, decomposition, or meanings like this, the word "dissolve" would be wrong.

If you really mean "dissolving", what the solvent will be then? I mean, where would you like to dissolve N2O into?

350°C is a high temperature, however, since nitrous compound is an oxide, it may further be oxidized to yield NO, NO2, N2O3, or N2O5. I wanted to say that nitrous oxide may not totally "dissolve"; but be oxidized instead.

Please give some more details, and we will discuss it here.

Hi chem_tr. I;m sorry that i used the wrong word "dissolved". What i mean is to decompose the N2O. To my best knowledge, the most stable phase for N2O is N=N-O. So the bond between N and O will break first at high temperature. I'm wondering after this, if the N and N will form triple-bond instead of further decompose to N ions?

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
