Ammonium perchlorate (NH4ClO4) is the solid rocket fuel used by the U.S. Space Shuttle. It reacts with itself to produce nitroge
n gas (N2), chlorine gas (Cl2), oxygen gas (O2), water (H2O), and a great deal of energy. What mass of nitrogen gas is produced by the reaction of 9 gr of ammonium perchlorate? Round your answer to significant digits.
1 answer:
Answer:
1.08 grams of nitrogen
Explanation:
Thermally ammonium perchlorate dissociate as shown in figure.
Thus as per equation two moles of ammonium perchlorate will give four moles of water, two moles of oxygen, one mole of chlorine and one mole of nitrogen,
The molar mass of ammonium perchlorate = 117.5g/mol
Two moles of ammonium perchlorate = 2X 117.5 = 234 g
The molar mass of nitrogen = 28g
thus 234 grams of ammonium perchlorate will give 28 grams of nitrogen
Hence 9 grams of ammonium perchlorate will give 1.08 grams of nitrogen

Answer :
The correct answer is %IC = 10 % and bond is covalent bond with slight polarity.
<u>Percent Ionic Character :</u>
It is defined as percent of ionic character present in a polar covalent bond . The formula of % ionic character (%IC) is given as follows :
Where Xa = Electronegativity of A atom and Xb = Electronegativity of B atom
Given : Molecule is TiAl₃
Electronegativity of Ti = 2.0
Electronegativity of Al = 1.6 ( From image shared )
Plug the value in above formula :
Value of e⁻¹ = 0.90
Percent ionic character = 1 - 0.90 * 100
Percent Ionic character = 10 %
<u>Since the % IC is 10 % , which is very less comparatively , hence the bond is covalent and very less polar .</u>
