Title: Frost Diagrams and Disproportionation
Post by: P-zac on November 18, 2009, 03:36:34 PM
I'm stuck on this question:

Identify two nitrogen species that are unstable with respect to disproportionation, and identify the disproportionation products and write the balanced net reaction in each case. (The diagram given is here:

** I'm thinking that N2 and HNO2 are the two unstable species since they are concave on the diagram but I'm unsure how the net reaction would look like.
