Detailed information about the equation 2Ba(NO2)2 -> 2BaO + 4NO2 + O2 -> :
This equation describes the thermodynamic decomposition process of Barium nitrite (Ba(NO2)2) forming Barium oxide (BaO), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and Oxygen (O2). -
Reaction conditions:
For the reaction to occur, a sufficient temperature (high temperature) is required. -
Reaction Process:
When the temperature is high enough, Barium nitrite will decompose into Barium oxide, Nitrogen dioxide and Oxygen. This reaction is not complete and can interchange based on the temperature condition. -
Phenomenon occurs:
When the reaction takes place, the products formed include solid Barium oxide and two types of gases, Nitrogen dioxide and Oxygen. Nitrogen dioxide gas is red-orange in color and Oxygen gas is colorless.
