Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is a colorless, oxidizing,
liquified gas with a slightly sweetish taste and odor.
Applications
Used in optical spectrometry as an instrumentation gas;
used in atomic absorption for elemental analysis as
an instrumentation gas; component in industrial hygiene
gas mixtures. Used as the oxidizing agent of combustion
gases for atomic absorption spectrometry. Used in medical
applications, and in certain food processing applications.
In semiconductor fabrication: oxygen source for Chemical
Vapor Deposition (CVD) of silicon dioxide, SiO2.
