62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?
Methane (CH4) gas flows into a combustion chamber at a rate of 200. L/min at 1.50 atm and ambient temperature. Air is added to the chamber at 1.00 atm and the same temperature, and the gases are ignited. a. To ensure complete combustion of CH4 to CO2(g) and H2O(g), three times as much oxygen as is necessary is reacted. Assuming air is 21 mole percent O2 and 79 mole percent N2, calculate the flow rate of air necessary to deliver the required amount of oxygen. b. Under the conditions in part a, combustion of methane was not complete as a mixture of CO2(g) and CO(g) was produced. It was determined that 95.0% of the carbon in the exhaust gas was present in CO2. The remainder was present as carbon in CO. Calculate the composition of the exhaust gas in terms of mole fraction of CO, CO2, O2, N2, and H2O. Assume CH4 is completely reacted and N2 is unreacted.
Why do some small bridges have weight limits that depend on how many wheels or axles the crossing vehicle has?
(a) A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengers and 5 crew members from Kansas City (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11,800 lb (about 1700 gallons) of Jet A fuel en route. Jet A fuel is kerosine based, consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, with n =6 to 16, so the carbon:hydrogen ratio is close to 1:2. During this flight, how much CO2 was released into the atmosphere? Assume the combustion of the fuel was complete, so all the fuel was burned to form CO2 and H2O. Give both the mass of CO2 produced (in kg and in lbs) and the volume it would occupy at 298 K, 1 atm.(b) How much CO2 would be released into the atmosphere if those passengers and crew made the trip instead, in pairs, in hybrid cars at 40 miles per gallon. Assume the density of the gasoline is 0.75 kg L-1 and that carbon and hydrogen dominate the composition in a ratio of 1:2. The road trip is 1082 miles.
A student dissolves 10.3g of ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 in 300.g of water in a well-insulated open cup. He then observes the temperature of the water fall from 22.0°C to 19.3°C over the course of 3.1 minutes. Use this data, and any information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction: NH4NO3s -> NH+4aq + NO−3aq You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither? If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in this case. Calculate the reaction enthalpy ΔHrxn per mole of NH4NO3.
The emission of NO2 by fossil fuel combustion can be prevented by injecting gaseous urea into the combustion mixture. The urea reduces NO (which oxidizes in air to form NO2) according to the reaction:2 CO(NH2)2( g) + 4 NO( g) + O2( g)------------->4 N2( g) + 2 CO2( g) + 4 H2O( g)Suppose that the exhaust stream of an automobile has a flow rate of 2.55 L/s at 655 K and contains a partial pressure of NO of 12.4 torr. What total mass of urea is necessary to react completely with the NO formed during 8.0 hours of driving?

Ozone is a trace atmospheric gas which plays an important role in screening the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, and the abundance of ozone is commonly reported in Dobson units. Imagine a column passing up through the atmosphere. The total amount of O3 in the column divided by its cross-sectional area is reported in Dobson units with 1 Du = 0.4462 mmol m−2. What amount of O3 (in moles) is found in a column of atmosphere with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 dm2 if the abundance is 250 Dobson units (a typical midlatitude value)? In the seasonal Antarctic ozone hole, the column abundance drops below 100 Dobson units; how many moles of O3 are found in such a column of air above a 1.00 dm2 area? Most atmospheric ozone is found between 10 and 50 km above the surface of the Earth. If that ozone is spread uniformly through this portion of the atmosphere, what is the average molar concentration corresponding to (a) 250 Dobson units, (b) 100 Dobson units?
