what is the difference between nitric and nitrous?

Nitric Oxide is one molecule of nitrogen, one of oxygen. Nitrous Oxide has 2 molecules of nitrogen, and one of oxygen. And that extra molecule of nitrogen changes the gas completely.

Characteristics: Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, diatomic and generally inert gas at standard temperature and pressure. At atmospheric pressure, nitrogen is liquid between 63 K and 77 K.

for these reactions are similar, but nitric acid is a more powerful oxidizing agent. Base on the fact that dilute nitrous acid can oxidize iodide into iodine, it can be deduced that nitrous is a faster, rather than a more powerful, oxidizing agent than dilute nitric acid.

Nitrogen. Pure nitrogen has the advantage that it is inert and abundantly available, because it is the major component of air. However, because nitrogen is only 3% lighter than air, it is not an obvious choice for a lifting gas.

Argon has approximately the same solubility in water as oxygen and is 2.5 times more soluble in water than nitrogen. Argon is colorless, odorless, nonflammable and nontoxic as a solid, liquid or gas. Argon is chemically inert under most conditions and forms no confirmed stable compounds at room temperature.

Gasoline is quite volatile and evaporates quickly. Gasoline ignites very easily with a match, too easily, but diesel is hard or impossible to light with a match. Gasoline has less viscosity than water, although this might be hard to determine by shaking a container. Diesel has a viscosity slightly greater than water.

Propane vapors are heavier than air, while natural gas is lighter than air. For this reason, propane vapors may accumulate in low-lying areas such as basements, crawl spaces and ditches or along floors, while natural gas will typically rise into the air and disperse.

Basically the difference is that a gas shock absorber is a hydraulic shock which is injected a certain amount of low-pressure nitrogen gas, under the same design, the other physical characteristics of both shocks are almost the same ie have the same size, this means, diameter, length, also have the same piston, but ...

Nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide, also known as dinitrogen oxide or dinitrogen monoxide, is a chemical compound with chemical formula N2O. It is commonly known as laughing gas due to the exhilarating effects of inhaling it.

Nitrogen gas is slightly lighter than air and slightly soluble in water. It is commonly thought of and used as an inert gas; but it is not truly inert.

Nitrogen (N2) is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that makes up 78.09% (by volume) of the air we breathe. It is nonflammable and it will not support combustion. Nitrogen gas is slightly lighter than air and slightly soluble in water. It is commonly thought of and used as an inert gas; but it is not truly inert.

A vapour is a substance which has experienced a phase change. A gas is a substance which has not, and will not experience a phase change. Vapour is a solid or a liquid at room temperature, that its natural state of matter is either a solid or a liquid.

Nitrous Oxide - N2O Nitrous oxide (N2O) gas should not be confused with nitric oxide (NO) or nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Neither nitric oxide nor nitrogen dioxide are greenhouse gases, although they are important in the process of creation of tropospheric ozone which is a greenhouse gas.

Nitrous oxide, physical properties. - N20 is a gas at room temperature, is 1 1/2 times denser than air, is colorless, tasteless, and has a slightly sweet odor. It is the only organic gas practical for clinical anesthesia.

Answer and Explanation: At STP (standard temperature and pressure which is 0o C and 1 atmosphere), nitric acid is aqueous. Its most concentrated form is 16 M and is called...

Nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is a colourless gas used by dentists as a sedative and anaesthetic agent. It is also used in the catering industry and is often found in silver, pressurised whipped cream chargers. ... The gas is usually inhaled from a balloon that has been inflated using a whipped cream charger canister.

Nitrogen gas is only slightly lighter than air and readily mixes with air at room temperature. Cold vapors are more dense and will settle.
