Recombination of atoms at surfaces. Part 11.—Nitrogen atoms at some acid, base and salt surfaces

M. L. Rahman and J. W. Linnett


The Rayleigh method has been used to investigate the effect on the recombination of nitrogen atoms of treating Pyrex with materials such as H3PO4, NaOH, NaCl, Al(OH)3 etc. The significance of some of these in relation to the mechanism of the process occurring at a Pyrex surface has been discussed. Phosphoric and sulphuric acids lower the activity and the process becomes second order. Aluminium hydroxide increases the activity considerably.
