Dinitrogen trioxide is produced by mixing equal parts of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and cooling the mixture below -21°C (-6°F). The gases react, forming the blue liquid N2O3. Dinitrogen trioxide is only stable in the liquid and solid phases, and decomposes back to NO and NO2 when heated above 3°C. The chemical compound nitric oxide is a gas with chemical formula NO. It is an important signaling molecule in the body of mammals including humans, one of the few gaseous signaling molecules known. ... The chemical compound nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a red or orange/brown gas with a characteristic sharp, biting odor. ... In the physical sciences, a phase is a set of states of a macroscopic physical system that have relatively uniform chemical composition and physical properties (i. ...


It is the anhydride of the unstable nitrous acid (HNO2), and produces it when mixed into water. If the nitrous acid is not then used up quickly, it decomposes into nitric oxide and nitric acid. Nitrite salts are sometimes produced by adding N2O3 to solutions of bases.
