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.
