Abstract
Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide are decomposed by active nitrogen to yield oxygen atoms. These molecules are dissociated by collision with excited N2 molecules in the B3Πg state which emits the nitrogen afterglow. The rate constants for this process are (5.1±0.8)× 1013 and (3.5±0.4)× 1013 cm3 mole sec–1 at 196°K for CO2 and N2O respectively. Reactions (2) and (3) N+O+M = NO+M (2) N+N+M = N2+M (3) have the following rate constants in cm6 mole–2 sec–1: [graphic omitted]Keywords
