Abstract

The heterogeneous reaction of nitric acid (HNO3) with nitric oxide (NO) on borosilicate glass surfaces was studied in a flow system at relative humidity levels in the range 21-86%. Reactant concentrations were kept closer to ambient atmospheric levels as compared to all previous studies of this reaction. Within experimental error, no formation of the proposed reaction products nitrous acid (HONO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was observed. Upper ...
