What happens when solid dinitrogen pentoxide is added to water?
February 20th, 2023
It reacts with the water to form nitric acid
##”N”_2″O”_5## is the acid anhydride of nitric acid.
##”N”_2″O”_5 + “H”_2″O” → “2HNO”_3##
The net ionic equation is
##”N”_2″O”_5″(s)” + “3H”_2″O””(l)” → “2H”_3″O”^+”(aq)” + “2NO”_3^”-“”(aq)”##
