How Does the Catalytic Decomposition of Nitrous Oxide Work?
The catalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide involves breaking the N-O bonds to produce nitrogen and oxygen. This process can be represented by the following reaction: N2O → N2 + 1/2 O2 The efficiency of this reaction depends on the ability of the catalyst to adsorb and activate N2O molecules, facilitating the cleavage of the N-O bond.
