There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>Ammonium perchlorate is the solid rocket fuel used by the U.S. Space Shuttle. It reacts with itself to produce nitrogen gas, chlorine gas, oxygen gas, water, and a great deal of energy. </em>
<em>What mass of water is produced by the reaction of </em><em>9.6 g</em><em> of ammonium perchlorate?</em>
<em />
Step 1: Given data
Mass of ammonium perchlorate: 9.6 g
Step 2: Write the balanced equation
2 NH₄ClO₄(s) → N₂(g) + Cl₂(g) + 2 O₂(g) + 4 H₂O(l)
Step 3: Calculate the moles corresponding to 9.6 g of ammonium perchlorate
The molar mass of ammonium perchlorate is 117.49 g/mol.
Step 4: Calculate the moles of water formed from 0.082 moles of ammonium perchlorate
The molar ratio of NH₄ClO₄ to H₂O is 2:4. The moles of water formed are 4/2 × 0.082 mol = 0.16 mol
Step 5: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.16 moles of water
The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol.
