Specific heat 23 Joule / mol

Nitrous oxide "N2O" is an inert gas. Inhalation of nitrous oxide stuns the player and eventually causes them to blackout.

Nitrous oxide has a specific heat of 23 Joule / mol.

Combusts with Volatiles at a 1:1 ratio (auto combusts at 50C), burns much hotter than h2/o2 (2:1 ratio).

For rocketry, N₂O has a mass of about 21.7 mol/kg, giving the 1:1 fuel mix a mass of 32.2 mol/kg compared to 62.5 for Vol/Oxy fuel mix.

Nitrous oxide is pretty easy to condense with a little pressure. Almost every N2O storage build will include a condensation trap to avoid pipe ruptures.

Nitrous oxide naturally occurs as a small part of Ice (Nitrice), Ore_(Lead), and Ore_(Silver) or can be created by the Nitrolyzer from its constituent elements.

Alien Mushrooms breathe Nitrous Oxide and exhale oxygen and nitrogen.
