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?

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

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!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
