Transcription
Preparation
NaO2 is prepared by treating sodium peroxide with oxygen at high pressures:[2]
- Na2O2 + O2 → 2 NaO2
It can also be prepared by careful oxygenation of a solution of sodium in ammonia:
- Na(in NH3) + O2 → NaO2
It is also produced, along with sodium peroxide, when sodium is stored under inappropriate conditions (e.g. in dirty or partially halogenated solvents)[citation needed].
Properties
The product is paramagnetic, as expected for a salt of the O−
2 anion. It hydrolyses readily to give a mixture of sodium hydroxide, oxygen and hydrogen peroxide.[3] It crystallizes in the NaCl motif.
