The bomb that destroyed tje Murrah Federal Office Building in Oklahoma City in April 1995 was constructed from ordinary materials: fertilizer (ammonium nitrate) and fiel oil (a mixture of long-chain hydrocarbons, similar to decane, C10H22). Calculate the total enthalpy (delta H, in kJ) when 11.40 grams of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3, 80.04 g/mol) reacts according to the following reaction. 3NH4 NO3(s) + C10H22 (l) + 14O2 (g) → 3N2(g) 17 H2O (g) + 10CO2 (g)

ΔH⁰(11.4g NH₄NO₃) = -30.59Kj (4 sig. figs. ~mass of  NH₄NO₃(s) given) (exothermic)

Explanation:

           3NH₄NO₃(s) + C₁₀H₂₂(l) + 14O₂(g) => 3N₂(g)  +  17H₂O(g)   +  10CO₂(g)

ΔH⁰(f):  3(-365.6)Kj     1(-301)Kj    14(0)Kj       3(0)Kj    17(-241.8)Kj    10(-393.5)Kj

            = -1096.8Kj     = -301Kj     = 0Kj         = 0Kj      = -4110.6Kj    = -3930.5Kj

ΔHₙ°(rxn) = ∑ (ΔH˚(f)products) - ∑(ΔH˚(f)reactants)

= [3(0)Kj + 17(-241.8)Kj + (-393.5)Kj] - [(-(1096.8)Kj + (-301)Kj + (0)Kj]

= [-(8041.1) - (-1397.8)]Kj

= -6643.3Kj (for 3 moles NH₄NO₃ used in above equation)  

∴ Standard Heat of Rxn = -6643.3Kj/3moles = -214.8Kj/mole NH₄NO₃(s)

ΔH°(rxn for 14.11g  NH₄NO₃(s)) = (11.4g/80.04g·mol⁻¹)(-214.8Kj/mol) = 30.5937Kj ≅ 30.59Kj (4 sig. figs. ~mass of  NH₄NO₃(s) given)

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
