Abstract
RECENT work1 has shown that the reactivity of active nitrogen can be increased by diluting the nitrogen with inert gas prior to its passage through the condensed discharge tube. During a more detailed investigation of the effect of inert gas on the reactivity of active nitrogen with nitric oxide and other gases it was found that the extent of reaction depended on the geometrical arrangement of the discharge tube and reaction vessel. This effect has been, reported previously2 but without a proper explanation having been given.
