Interpretation:
The amount of oxygen gas in grams produced by the explosion of ammonium nitrate is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
In the balanced
The amount of product produced is calculated by conversion of the initial amount of reactant to moles by the molar mass as the conversion factor.
The moles of products are calculated and are converted to the grams by the use of molar mass as the conversion factor.
Mass to mole conversion factor =
Mole to mole conversion factor=
Mole to mass conversion factor =
For theoretical yield, steps are mass to mole conversion → mole to mole conversion → mole to mass conversion.

- A possible practical way to eliminate oxides of nitrogen(such as NO2 ) from automobile exhaust gases uses cyanuricacid, C3N3(OH)3 . When heated to the relatively lowtemperature of 625°F, cyanuric acid converts to gaseousisocyanic acid (HNCO). Isocyanic acid reacts with NO2 inthe exhaust to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water,all of which are normal constituents of the air. (a) Write balanced equations for these two reactions. (b) If the process described earlier became practical, howmuch cyanuric acid (in kilograms) would be requiredto absorb the 1.71010kgNO2 generated annuallyin auto exhaust in the United States?arrow_forwardThe simplest example of the hydrogenation of a carbon-carbon double bond is the reaction between ethene and hydrogen in the presence of nickel: CH2=CH2+H2NiCH3CH3. When 5.20g of ethene react with excess hydrogen gas, the reaction yields 4.75g of ethane. What is the percentage yield for this reaction?arrow_forwardA mixture of tetraphosphorus trisulfide and powdered glass is in the white tip of strike-anywhere matches. The P4S3 is made by the direct combination of the elements: 8P4+3S88P4S3. If 133g of phosphorus is mixed with the full contents of a 126-g(4-oz) bottle of sulfur, how many grams of the compound can be formed? How much of which element will be left over. The tips of strike-anywhere matches contain tetraphosphorus trisulfide, which reacts with the oxygen in the air in an exothermic change to inititae the burning reaction.arrow_forward
- When hydrochloric acid solution reacts with lead (ll) nitrate solution, lead (Il) chloride precipitates and a solution Of nitric acid is produced. a. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. b. Interpret the equation in terms of molecules and formula units, moles, and mass.arrow_forwardHow many molecules of C2H4Cl2 can be prepared from 15C2H4 molecules and 8Cl2 molecules?arrow_forwardWhen elemental boron, B, is burned in oxygen gas, the product is diboron trioxide. If the diboron trioxide is then reacted with a measured quantity of water, it reacts with the water to form what is commonly known as boric acid, B(OH)3 . Write a balanced chemical equation for each of these processes.arrow_forward
