Frost Diagram Nitrogen. This includes the reactions of various elements with nitric acid. The free energy δ g is related to reduction potential e in the graph by given formula.
In a frost diagram a proxy for the free energy relative to that of the free element oxidation state zero is plotted as a function of oxidation state. Use the frost diagram for nitrogen to rationalize all the decomposition reactions of no3 which you perform in the laboratory in experiment 9. δ g nfe or ne δ g f where n is the number of transferred electrons and f is faraday constant f 96 485 j v mol.
In a frost diagram we plot δg f ne vs.
The proxy used in place of the free energy is ne sometimes expressed as ne. The frost diagram for nitrogen in acidic solid line and basic dashed line aqueous solution is given below. In a frost diagram we plot δg f ne vs. The frost diagram for nitrogen the thick black line is for acidic solution and the dashed line is for basic solution.
