It depends on the oxide.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitric oxide (NO) are colorless.
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is brown.
When lead nitrate is heated, brown nitrogen dioxide gas is evolved, which gives off a yellowish-brown color.
Yes, nitrogen oxide is a greenhouse gas. It is a key component of smog and contributes to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere.
The compound name for 1 nitrogen and 1 oxygen is nitrogen monoxide, also known as nitric oxide.
The balanced equation for the reaction of nitrogen gas (N2) and oxygen gas (O2) to form nitric oxide (NO) is: 2N2 + O2 → 2NO
The colorless gas is likely nitrous oxide (N2O) because it decomposed into nitrogen gas and oxygen gas, which are the components of nitrous oxide. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is 2N2O -> 2N2 + O2.
