Description
Dinitrogen pentoxide (N₂O₅) is a white, crystalline solid that is the anhydride of nitric acid. It is a powerful oxidizing agent with the molecular formula N₂O₅ and a molecular weight of 108.01 g/mol. The compound is highly reactive and unstable at room temperature, decomposing into nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and oxygen (O₂). It is soluble in water, where it reacts violently to form nitric acid (HNO₃). It sublimates at about 32 °C and decomposes rapidly at higher temperatures, especially in moist air.
