Talk:Nitrous Oxide

Questions:

Could organic contamination in a pipe (e.g. oil or soot) spontaneously ignite under pressurized NO ?

What else could spontaneously ignite or catalyze with NO at near room temperature ? Charles F. Radley 14:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I now see different MSDS sheet say different things.

I just read through the newer 2005 MSDS from Air Liquid ..... and it says that explosive decomposition can occur at temperatures below 300 degc when under pressure .... very nasty

Chemical Formula

Just checking, are we discussing Nitric Oxide (NO) or Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) ?
