530 Messrs Jones and Matthews, Reduction of Nitrosyl Chloride. 



chloride by means of an alkaline solution of glycerol. At the 

 ordinary temperature a very vigorous reaction set in at once, the 

 temperature of the platinum rose rapidly to a red heat and 

 ammonium chloride was formed. 



The platinum was therefore surrounded by a freezing mixture 

 and the gases allowed to pass over it very slowly, and in this way 

 some hydroxylamine hydrochloride was formed together with the 

 ammonium chloride, but the quantity was small, hardly exceeding 

 five per cent, of the ammonium chloride formed. Nitrogen was 

 also produced. 



Nickel was also found to bring about the interaction of 

 hydrogen and nitrosyl chloride with the formation of ammonium 

 chloride.
