Oxyacetylene torches rely on a precise mixture of fuel (C₂H₂(g)) to oxygen to optimize the welding process. _C₂H₂(g) + O₂(g) → _CO₂(g) + _H₂O(g) Calculate the volume of O₂(g) required to react completely with 11.8 L of acetylene. Assume both substances are at SATP. Hint: Balance the combustion reaction first. Do not show your work in the space provided. Record only your final answer with the correct number of significant digits and the proper units. Answer:

62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?
