Abstract

Abstract Flowing and static gas‐phase samples of HNO 3 in O 2 and N 2 were analyzed by long‐path ultraviolet/visible (UV/VIS) spectroscopy to reveal the presence of both NO 2 and NO 3 , the concentrations of which were calculated using differential absorption cross sections. NO 2 is produced predominantly by the heterogeneous decomposition of HNO 3 , whereas NO 3 is generated in the gas phase by the thermal decomposition of N 2 O 5 , a product of the self‐disproportionation of liquid HNO 3 . © 1993 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.
