亚硝酸在冰晶中存在以下平衡:NO2^-H^+=HONO H^+=H2ONO^+=H2O+NO^+,导致冰晶中的亚硝酸以4种形式的N(Ⅲ):NO2^-,HONO,H2ONO^+和NO^+存在.实验发现,四种N(Ⅲ)在冰晶中分数与pH值有很大关系:pH〉3,主要以NO2^-和HONO形式存在;pH〈3,主要以HONO,H2ONO^+和NO^+形式存在.冰晶中的N(Ⅲ)借助以上平衡不断产生HONO并释放到大气中,导致冰晶中N(Ⅲ)不断损失.实验还发现,冰晶中N(Ⅲ)损失率随pH值的升高先升高后下降,随N(Ⅲ)初始浓度升高而升高.紫外光能使冰晶中N(Ⅲ)发生光解,但光解速率很慢,加入·OH猝灭剂也不能提高冰晶中N(Ⅲ)的光解率.
The equilibrium equation of nitrous acid in ice:NO2^-H^+=HONO H^+=H2ONO^+=H2O+NO^+ has demonstrated that nitrous acid (HONO) was present in ice in four different N ( Ⅲ ) species: NO2^-, HONO, H2ONO^+ and NO^+, the mole fraction of which has a strong dependence on pH. At pH 〉3, N(Ⅲ) species'mainly included NO2 and HONO, while N ( Ⅲ )existed by means of HONO, H2ONO^+ and NO^+ at pH 〈 3. HONO released from above dissociation equilibrium contributed to the loss of N ( Ⅲ ) in ice. The experiment results also showed that the loss percentage of N (Ⅲ ) first increased then decreased with the increasing pH, and increased with the increase of initial concentration of N( Ⅲ ) Moreover, we studied the photolysis of N (Ⅲ) in ice and found photolysis reaction took place under UV light, but the rate of photolysis appeared to be very slow. Addition of · OH scavenger did not enhance its photolysis rate in lee.
