Ammonium nitrate decomposes explosively upon heating according to the balanced
Chapter 11, Problem 118P(choose chapter or problem)
Ammonium nitrate decomposes explosively upon heating according to the balanced equation:
\(2\ \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}(s) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{~N}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)+4\ \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)\)
Calculate the total volume of gas (at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and 748 mm Hg) produced by the complete decomposition of 1.55 kg of ammonium nitrate.

ANSWER:
Solution 118P
Here, we are going to calculate the total volume of gas produced by the complete decomposition of 1.55 kg of ammonium nitrate.
Step 1: Given reaction is
2 NH4NO3(s) → 2N2(g) + O2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
2.0 mol 1.0 mol 1.0 mol 4 mol
Thus, 2.0 mol of NH4NO3(s) produces = 1.0 mol +1.0 mol + 4.0 mol = 7.0 mol gas
