The NO formation by the reaction of N2 with O2- in an argon plasma jet was investigated in the temperature range of 3000-10000°K and in the wide N2/O2- ratios. If the rate of formation would be expressed as follows: d[NO]/d = k[N2][O2-]2 the amount of NO formed would be maximum at a= 2/3 (where, a = [N2]/ {[N2] [O2-]}), when the reaction temperature and time were constant. In the present experiment, however, the maximum amount of NO formed was observed at lower a than 1/2; therefore, the rate could not be expressed by the above equation under such severe condition as an existence of plasma at a high temperature.
