"Smelling salts," which are used to revive someone who has fainted, typically contain ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3 . Ammonium carbonate decomposes readily to form ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water. The strong odor of ammonia usually restores consciousness in the person who has tainted. The unbalanced equation is: ( NH4 )2 CO3( s)→ NH3(g ) + CO2( g) + H2O(g ) calculate the mass of ammonia gas that is produced if 1.25 g of ammonium carbonate decomposes completely.
