  2. Nitric oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide

    In water, nitric oxide reacts with oxygen to form nitrous acid (HNO 2). The reaction is thought to proceed via the following stoichiometry: 4 • NO + O 2 + 2 H 2 O → 4 HNO 2. Nitric oxide reacts with fluorine, chlorine, and bromine to form the nitrosyl halides, such as nitrosyl chloride: 2 • NO + Cl 2 → 2 NOCl

  3. Nitrate test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate_test

    The overall reaction is the reduction of the nitrate ion to nitric oxide by iron(II), which is oxidised to iron(III), followed by the formation of nitrosyl ferrous sulfate between the nitric oxide and the remaining iron(II), where nitric oxide is reduced to NO −. [5] 2HNO 3 + 3H 2 SO 4 + 6FeSO 4 → 3Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 2NO + 4H 2 O

  4. Nitrate reductase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate_reductase

    Nitrate reductase (NR) is regulated at the transcriptional and translational levels induced by light, nitrate, and possibly a negative feedback mechanism. First, nitrate assimilation is initiated by the uptake of nitrate from the root system, reduced to nitrite by nitrate reductase, and then nitrite is reduced to ammonia by nitrite reductase.

  6. Reactive oxygen species - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_oxygen_species

    Peroxynitrite and nitric oxide are reactive oxygen-containing species as well. Hydroxyl radical (HO·) is generated by Fenton reaction of hydrogen peroxide with ferrous compounds and related reducing agents: Fe(II) + H 2 O 2 → Fe(III)OH + HO· In its fleeting existence, the hydroxyl radical reacts rapidly irreversibly with all organic compounds.

  7. Biological functions of nitric oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_functions_of...

    Nitric oxide (nitrogen monoxide) is a molecule and chemical compound with chemical formula of N O. In mammals including humans, nitric oxide is a signaling molecule involved in several physiological and pathological processes. [ 1 ] It is a powerful vasodilator with a half-life of a few seconds in the blood.

  8. Birkeland–Eyde process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland–Eyde_process

    Birkeland–Eyde process. The Birkeland–Eyde process was one of the competing industrial processes in the beginning of nitrogen-based fertilizer production. It is a multi-step nitrogen fixation reaction that uses electrical arcs to react atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) with oxygen (O 2), ultimately producing nitric acid (HNO 3) with water. [1]

  9. Ostwald process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_process

    The Ostwald process begins with burning ammonia.Ammonia burns in oxygen at temperature about 900 °C (1,650 °F) and pressure up to 8 standard atmospheres (810 kPa) [4] in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum gauze, alloyed with 10% rhodium to increase its strength and nitric oxide yield, platinum metal on fused silica wool, copper or nickel to form nitric oxide (nitrogen(II) oxide) and ...
