Nitric acid is a key industrial chemical, largely used to make fertilizers and explosives. The first step in its synthesis is the oxidation of ammonia. In this reaction, gaseous ammonia reacts with dioxygen gas to produce nitrogen monoxide gas and water. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the oxidation of ammonia reaction finds that 309. liters per second of dioxygen are consumed when the reaction is run at 217.°C and 0.70atm. Calculate the rate at which nitrogen monoxide is being produced. Give your answer in kilograms per second. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
In Beirut, Lebanon, a storage warehouse with 2750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate exploded damaging the city and killing at least 78 people in August 2020. Pure ammonium nitrate does not explode easily and can be handled safely. It decomposes at 230oC producing nitrous oxide gas (N2O) and water vapor. Give a balanced equation for the decomposition reaction. Above 260oC, if confined and when contaminated, ammonium nitrate will explode forming toxic gases such as NO2, responsible for the ‘orange brown fireball’ that occurred in the explosion. The following equation represents one of the reactions contributing to the explosion: 4NH4NO3(s) → 3N2(g) + 2NO2(g) + 8H2O(g) + 405.6 KJ/mol picture Identify the reaction diagram that shows the reaction above. Make sure to explain why you chose A or B using the concepts of energy of reactants and products.
Ammonium perchlorate (NH4ClO4) is a solid rocket fuel that was used in space shuttles. When heated at 200oC, it decomposes to a variety of gases, with the most important being N2(g), Cl2(g), O2(g), and H2O (g). Write a balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of NH4ClO4, assuming that only the products listed above are generated. The sudden appearance of hot gaseous products in a small initial volume leads to a rapid increase in pressure and temperature, which give the rockets its thrust. What total pressure of gas would be produced at 800 oC by igniting 7.00x105 kg of NH4ClO4 and allowing it to expand to a volume of 6.4x106L? (assume ideal gas behavior). Calculate the molar fraction of Cl2 and its partial pressure.

Long-term space missions require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of oxygen, with 1.00 mol of methane as a by-product. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the attitude of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single astronaut exhales 1.03 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the recycling of three astronauts' respiration during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 140-L tank at −45.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank?
