  2. Nitrous oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide

    Nitrous oxide (dinitrogen oxide or dinitrogen monoxide), commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous, or factitious air, among others, [4] is a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen with the formula N 2 O. At room temperature, it is a colourless non-flammable gas, and has a slightly sweet scent and taste. [4]

  3. Miscibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscibility

    Miscibility (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ b ɪ l ɪ t i /) is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution). Such substances are said to be miscible (etymologically equivalent to the common term "mixable").

  4. NOx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx

    Though nitrous oxide is emitted during its application, it is then reacted in atmosphere to form nitrogen oxides. This third source is attributed to the reaction of atmospheric nitrogen, N 2 , with radicals such as C, CH, and CH 2 fragments derived from fuel, [ 26 ] rather than thermal or fuel processes.

  5. Mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture

    These terms are derived from the idea that a homogeneous mixture has a uniform appearance, or only one phase, because the particles are evenly distributed. However, a heterogeneous mixture has constituent substances that are in different phases and easily distinguishable from one another. In addition, a heterogeneous mixture may have a uniform ...

    All are thermally unstable towards decomposition to their elements. One other possible oxide that has not yet been synthesised is oxatetrazole (N 4 O), an aromatic ring. [15] Nitrous oxide (N 2 O), better known as laughing gas, is made by thermal decomposition of molten ammonium nitrate at 250 °C. This is a redox reaction and thus nitric oxide ...

  7. Homogeneity and heterogeneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneity_and_heterogeneity

    Homogeneity and heterogeneity; only ' b ' is homogeneous Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance, process or image.A homogeneous feature is uniform in composition or character (i.e., color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc.); one that is heterogeneous ...

  8. Gas blending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_blending

    Gas blending is the process of mixing gases for a specific purpose where the composition of the resulting mixture is defined, and therefore, controlled. A wide range of applications include scientific and industrial processes, food production and storage and breathing gases.

  9. Chemical substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_substance

    If a mixture is separated to isolate one chemical substance to a desired degree, the resulting substance is said to be chemically pure. [ 4 ] Chemical substances can exist in several different physical states or phases (e.g. solids , liquids , gases , or plasma ) without changing their chemical composition.
