BTW.

 

The Hydroxyls (OH) formed can join to form hydrogen Peroxide

(HO-OH) "a colorless,syrupy liquid with a sharp odor and astringent taste".

 

It can decompose; 2 HO-OH -----> 2 H2O  + O2 + 210 kJ.

 

Hopefully in the ICE cylinder and not in the "Joe Cell".

 

The peroxide is most likely carried into the engine manifold with water vapor

along with the hydroxyls and electrolysis hydrogen  ( H, H2) "pilot fuel".

Global lightning fixes 40 million tons of nitrogen annually  by

creating Paramagnetic Nitric Oxide (NO).

 

Ammonia (NH3)  oxidizes exothermally in the presence of a catalyst:

 

4 NH3 + 5 O2 ---->  6 H2O + 4 NO + 900 kJ

 

Oxidation of NO to Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is exothermic:

 

2 NO + O2 -----> 2 NO2 + 116 kJ

 

Reaction of NO2 with H2O can form Nitric Acid (HNO3):

 

2 NO2 + 2 H2O ------> HNO3 + NO + 2 OH

 

In the presence of O2 at the anode of a (stainless steel) electrolysis cell:

 

NO + O2 -----> NO2 +  O

 

NO2 + H2O ------> NO + 2 OH

 

NO  + O ----->  NO2

 

NO2 + H2O -----> NO + 2 OH

 

More available  Atmospheric or Electrolysis O2 and a catalytic  (SS) surface

 

NO + O2 ----->  NO2 + O

 

NO2 + H2O ----->  NO + 2 OH

 

NO + O ------>  NO2 .... and so on for a couple of days as long

as the cell is kept warm, NO?

 

Same results with different reaction pathways. Hess' Law.
