Thermal decomposition of solid ammonium nitrate (NHẠNO3), similar to the explosion in Beirut, Lebanon that occurred on August 4h, results in the production of nitrous oxide (N20) gas and water (H20) vapor. A small-scale experiment is conducted wherein 1.74 mole of the ammonium nitrate is decomposed in a sealed tank. The pressure within the tank is measured to be 21.2 atmospheres after the reaction is complete. What is the partial pressure, in atm, in the tank due solely to the nitrous oxide? NHẠNO, (s) N,O (g) + 2 H20 (g)

Question
Thermal decomposition of solid ammonium nitrate (NHẠNO3), similar to the explosion in Beirut, Lebanon that occurred
on August 4th, results in the production of nitrous oxide (N20) gas and water (H20) vapor. A small-scale experiment is
conducted wherein 1.74 mole of the ammonium nitrate is decomposed in a sealed tank. The pressure within the tank is
measured to be 21.2 atmospheres after the reaction is complete. What is the partial pressure, in atm, in the tank due
solely to the nitrous oxide?
NHẠNO3 (s) → N,O (g) + 2 H20 (g)
