Abstract
THE reaction between active nitrogen and molecular hydrogen has been the subject of a considerable amount of research. With a glow discharge as the source of active material small yields of ammonia have been reported. Steiner1, using a condensed discharge, found that hydrazine was produced in addition to ammonia. The direct synthesis of hydrazoic acid has not so far been reported in the literature. In this connexion, it is of interest to record some observations made during recent experiments on the reaction between active nitrogen and hydrogen.
