Ammonium nitrate, a common fertilizer, is used as an explosive in fireworks and by terrorists. it was the material used in the tragic explosion at the oklahoma city federal building in 1995. how many liters of gas at 307°c and 1.00 atm are formed by the explosive decomposition of 86.0 kg of ammonium nitrate to nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapor?

Explanation:

The given balanced reaction is as follows.

It is given that mass of ammonium nitrate is 86.0 kg.

As 1 kg = 1000 g. So, 86.0 kg = 86000 g.

Hence, moles of present will be as follows.

      Moles of =

                                  =

                                  = 1074.42 mol

Therefore, moles of , and produced by 1074.42 mole of will be as follows.

  Moles of =

                                = 537.21 mol

Moles of =

                                = 1074.42 mol

Moles of =

                                = 2148.84 mol

Therefore, total number of moles will be as follows.

          537.21 mol + 1074.42 mol + 2148.84 mol

        = 3760.47 mol

According to ideal gas equation, PV = nRT. Hence, calculate the volume as follows.

                       PV = nRT

                     1 atm \times V = 3760.47 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 580 K[/tex]         (as = 307 + 273 = 580 K)

                           V = 179066.06 L

Thus, we can conclude that total volume of the gas is 179066.06 L.

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.

the answer is symmetrical : )
