Question

N2 H4 (1) + O2

Answer 1

Answer:

d. 46.5 g

Explanation:

First, you need to start with a properly balanced equation:

N₂H₄(l) + 3O₂(g) -> 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Then, find the moles of water produced:

2H = 2.01568 amu

O = 15.999 amu

________________

18.01468 amu

52.4 g ÷ 18.01468 amu = 2.9087 moles

The mole ratio in our balanced formula between N₂H₄ : H₂O is 1 : 2, so divide moles of H₂O by 2 to get moles of N₂H₄

2.9087 moles ÷ 2 = 1.45435 moles of N₂H₄

Then, calculate the atomic mass of N₂H₄:

2N = 28.0134 amu

4H = 4.03136 amu

________________

32.04476 amu

Finally, calculate the mass in grams of N₂H₄:

1.45435 moles • 32.04476 amu = 46.604 g
