Other Properties :

`N_2O`

`2N_2O -> 2N_2 +O_2`

Hence it is better supporter for combustion {mixture contains `33%` `O_2` compared to `20%`}

`S +N_2O -> SO_2 +N_2`

`P + N_2O -> P_2O_5 + N_2`

`Mg + N_2O -> MgO + N_2`

`Na + N_2O -> Na_2O + N_2`

`Cu + N_2O -> CuO + N_2`

`H_2 + N_2O -> H_2O + N_2`

`NO :` (i) It burns : `NO + 1/2 O_2 -> NO_2`

(ii) It supports combustion also for molten sulphur and hot phosphorous.

`S + 2NO -> SO_2 + N_2`

`2P + 5NO-> P_2O_5 + 5/2 N_2`

(iii) It is being absorbed by `FeSO_4` solution.

(iv) It is having reducing property.

`KMnO_4 +NO+ H_2SO_4 -> K_2SO_4 + MnSO_4 + HNO_3 + H_2O`

`HOCl +NO + H_2O -> HNO_3 + HCl`

(v) `NO` shows oxidising property also.

`SO_2 + 2NO + H_2O -> H_2SO_4 + N_2O`

`H_2S + 2NO -> H_2O + S downarrow + N_2O`

`3SnCl_2 + 2NO + 6HCl -> 3SnCl_4 + 2NH_2OH`

(Used for `NH_2OH` preparation)

(vi) `NO` combines with `X_2` (`X_2` = `Cl_2`, `Br_2`, `F_2`) to produce `NO X`

`2NO +X_2 -> 2NOX`

`N_2O3 :` No more properties

`NO_2 : (i)` It is having oxidising property.

`S +N O_2 -> SO_2 +NO`

`P + NO_2-> P_2O_5 + NO`

`C + NO_2 -> CO_2 + NO`

`SO_2 + NO_2 + H_2O -> H_2SO_4 +NO`

`H_2S + NO_2-> H_2O + S downarrow +NO`

`CO + NO_2 -> CO_2 +NO`

`text(NO not formed)` : `2KI +2NO_2 -> I_2 + 2KNO_2`

(ii) Reducing property of `NO_2`

`KMnO_4 + NO_2 + H_2SO_4 -> K_2SO_4 + MnSO_4 + HNO_3 + H_2O`

`O_3^0 + overset(+4)(2NO_2) -> O_2^0+overset(+5)(N_2O_5)`


`N_2O_5 :`

`I_2 + 5N_2O_5 -> I_2O_5 + 10NO_2`

`I_2O_5` is used for the estimation of `CO`.

`I_2O_5 + 5CO -> I_2 + 5CO_2`

`I_2 + 2S_2O_3^(2-) -> 2I^(-) + S_4O_6^(2-)`

`N_2O_5 + NaCl -> NaNO_3 + NO_2`

This likes proves that `N_2O_5` is consisting of ion pair of `NO_2^(+)` & `NO_3^(-)`
