 note = {application/pdf, When a liquid ammonia solution of sodium nitrate is electrolysed, a violent explosion occurs at a certain condition. The following experiments have been conducted for making the mechanism clear. (1) By examining the reaction between liquid ammonia solutions of ammonium nitrate and metallic sodium, it was clarified that the reaction product changed according to the magnitude of the molar ratio of sodium to the nitrate. (2) From the reaction between sodium nitrate and sodium, the above reaction mechanism was proved to be correct. (3) In the above reaction, the formation of sodium hyponitrite was confirmed, although the amount was small. (4) The reaction between ammonium nitrate and calcium was more slow and mild than that of sodium. (5) The above reactions were assumed to proceed in the neighbourhood of the cathode on electrolysis of sodium nitrate in liquid ammonia. (6) It was concluded that the explosion occurred by the electrolysis of sodium nitrate will be due to the formation of disodium nitrite., 紀要類(bulletin), 813544 bytes},
