When 4.4 grams of NH4NO3 is decomposed in a closed container, it will produce N2, O2 and water vapor and release a lot of heat. The temperature can be higher than 3000C. If the total pressure in the container is 86.2 atm, what is the partial pressure of N2? NH4NO3(s) --> N2(g) + 1/2 O2 (g) + 2H2O(g)
