Nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N{sub 2}O) are environmentally and physiologically important gasses. NO is catalytically reduced to N{sub 2}O, and cuprous chloride (CuCl) is oxidized to cupric chloride (CuCl2) in the presence of palladium dichloride in 2M HCl. The kinetics of this reaction were studied with uv/vis and IR spectroscopy. The rate of Cu oxidation exhibits a first order dependence on the concentration of Pd(II). This dependence implies that a monomeric Pd(II) is functioning as the active catalyst. A novel apparatus for studying the rate of N{sub 2}O production while simultaneously studying the rate of CuCl2 production is presented.
