Abstract
The decomposition of nitrous oxide on silver, a silver–1.14% gold alloy, and a series of silver–calcium alloys has been studied. On all of these catalysts the initialrate of decomposition is proportional to the nitrous oxide pressure. The activation energy for pure metals, including platinum and gold, is proportional to the work function. For the silver–calcium alloys the activation energy falls rapidly with increasing calcium content, suggesting that the work function of these alloys falls with increasing calcium content.
