Nitroethane is an organic compound having the chemical formula C 2 H 5 NO 2. Similar in many regards to nitromethane , nitroethane is an oily liquid at standard temperature and pressure. Pure nitroethane is colorless and has a fruity odor.
Net ecosystem production describes the total carbon in an ecosystem that can be stored, exported, or oxidized back into carbon dioxide gas. NEP is written in units of mass of carbon per unit area per time, for example, grams carbon per square meter per year (g C m −2 yr −1).

Nitrous oxide emissions from soil can be challenging to measure as they vary markedly over time and space, [74] and the majority of a year's emissions may occur when conditions are favorable during "hot moments" [75] [76] and/or at favorable locations known as "hotspots".
The reaction produces fragments from the parent alkane, creating a diverse mixture of products; for instance, nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane are produced by treating propane with nitric acid in the gas phase (e.g. 350–450 °C and 8–12 atm).
The reaction was reported in 1894 by the chemist John Ulric Nef, [4] who treated the sodium salt of nitroethane with sulfuric acid resulting in an 85–89% yield of nitrous oxide and at least 70% yield of acetaldehyde.
Nitromethane, sometimes shortened to simply "nitro", is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 3 NO 2.It is the simplest organic nitro compound.It is a polar liquid commonly used as a solvent in a variety of industrial applications such as in extractions, as a reaction medium, and as a cleaning solvent.
The main use of nitroethylene is as an intermediate reagent in chemical synthesis. One example is the production of N-(2-nitroethyl)-aniline with aniline at room temperature. The reaction utilizes benzene as a solvent and proceeds to about 90% yield in 12 hours. [9] Reaction of nitroethylene and aniline
