Azodicarbonamide, NH2CON=NCONH2, is a blowing (foaming)

QUESTION:

Azodicarbonamide, \(\mathrm{NH}_{2} \mathrm{CONNNCONH}_{2}\), is a blowing (foaming) agent for sponge rubber and expanded plastics. Its decomposition at \(195-202^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is given by

\(\begin{aligned} \mathrm{NH}_{2} \mathrm{CON}=& \mathrm{NCONH}_{2}(s) \longrightarrow \\

& \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{CO}(g)+\mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{HCNO}(g) \\ \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{HCNO}(g) & \longrightarrow \text { nonvolatile polymers }(s) \end{aligned} \)

Calculate the volume (in mL) of gas, corrected to STP, in the final mixture from decomposition of \(1.00 g\) of azodicarbonamide.

Text Transcription:

NH_2CONNNCONH_2

195–202°C

NH_2CON=NCONH_2(s) rightarrow NH_3(g)+CO(g)+N_2(g)+HCNO(g)

NH_3(g)+HCNO(g) rightarrow nonvolatile polymers(s)

1.00 g
