The G-value of Nitrogen Atoms Produced in the γ-Radiolysis of Liquid Nitrogen and the Ozone Formation in the γ-Irradiated Liquid Nitrogen Solution of Oxygen

The γ-radiolyses of liquid nitrogen solutions of nitrogen oxide and of oxygen gave nitrogen dioxide and ozone, respectively, as the main products. Over the solute concentrations from 0.01 to 0.1 mol l−1, the G-values of both products were constants: G(NO2)=3.3 and G(O3)≈7. The G-value of nitrogen di...

Summary:The γ-radiolyses of liquid nitrogen solutions of nitrogen oxide and of oxygen gave nitrogen dioxide and ozone, respectively, as the main products. Over the solute concentrations from 0.01 to 0.1 mol l−1, the G-values of both products were constants: G(NO2)=3.3 and G(O3)≈7. The G-value of nitrogen dioxide in the former solution probably corresponds to the G-value of nitrogen atoms from liquid nitrogen. For the formation of ozone in the latter solution, a possible reaction mechanism is discussed. Dinitrogen oxide was found as a minor product, the G-value being about 0.1 for both solutions.
