The decomposition of nitramide in aqueous solution at 25 °c NH2NO2(aq)N½O(g) + H20(1) is first order in NH2NO2. During one experiment it was found that when the initial concentration of NH2NO2 was 0.402 M, the concentration of NH2NO2 dropped to 7.40x10-2 M after 25187 s had passed. Based on this experiment, the rate constant for the reaction is s-1.

The recombination of l atoms in the gas phase in the presence of argon (which removes the energy released by the formation of an l-l bond, and so prevents the immediate dissociation of a newly formed l2 molecule) was investigated and the order of the reaction was determined by the method of initial rates. The initial rates of reaction of 2 l(g) + Ar(g) → l2(g) + Ar(g) were as follows: [l]0/( 10-5 mol dm-3) 1.0 2.0 4.0 6.0V0/(mol dm-3 S- 1) (a) 8.70 X 10-4 3.48 X 10-3 1.39 X 10-2 3. 13 X 10-2 (b) 4.35 x 10-3 1.74 x 10-2 6.96 x 10-2 1.57 x 10-1 (C) 8.69 X 10-3 3.47 X 10-2 1.38 X 10-1 3. 13 X 10-1The Ar concentrations are (a) 1.0 x 10-3 mol dm-3 , (b) 5.0 x 10-3 mol dm-3, and (c) 1.0 x 10-2 mol dm-3 .
