The kinetics and mechanism of conjugated reactions of hydrogen peroxide decomposition and molecular nitrogen oxidation to nitrogen(I) oxide

The paper presents a thermodynamic study of various reactions of oxidative molecular nitrogen fixation that can occur when nitrogen oxidation is synchronized with the decomposition of H2O2. It was shown that the formation of nitrogen(I) oxide from N-2 and H2O2 was more favorable energetically than the oxidative binding of nitrogen by molecular oxygen. The system under consideration was shown to involve two overall reactions, namely, the dissociation of hydrogen peroxide and the formation of nitrogen(I) oxide. An analysis of the kinetic model of conjugated reactions of the oxidation of N-2 to N2O and the decomposition of H2O2 gave calculation results that were in agreement with the experimental data.
