Hydrazine, N2H4, can be used as fuel to orient and maneuver spacecraft. The energy used to do so is obtained by reacting the hydrazine with dinitrogen tetroxide to form nitrogen gas and water vapor. Write and balance the chemical equation for this reaction.The spy satellite US-193 had 453 kg of hydrazine on board when it was destroyed. What mass of dinitrogen tetroxide would have had to be on board in order to completely react with the hydrazine? This reaction is a redox reaction. Assign oxidation states to each atom in the reaction,identify what is oxidized, what is reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. Answer in full please.
According to NASA, the space shuttle's external fuel tank for the main propulsion system carries 7246 kg of liquid O2 and 283.2 kg of liquid H2. During takeoff, these chemicals react to form water as well as giving out a great amount of energy.       ____ O2(g)  +  ____ H2(g)   →  ______ H2O How many kg of the excess reactant is left over?
If my energy usage is an average of 998.79 kilowatts/hours per month in the last 12 months. How many pounds of C02 were released into the atmosphere per month?
