Question

Hydrazine, N2H4, and hydrogen, H2O2, have been used as rocket propellants. They react according to the equation:

Answer 1

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

H2O2 + N2H4 → N2 + H2O

Upon balancing the reaction, we have;

N2H4 + 2H2O2 → N2 + 4H2O  

a. How many moles of N2 are formed from 0.0250 moles of N2H4?

From the equation of the reaction;

1 mol of N2H4 produces 1 mol of N2

0.0250 mol of N2H4 would produce x mol of N2

1 = 1

0.0250 = x

x = 0.0250 * 1 / 1 = 0.0250 mol

b. How many moles of H2O2 are required if 1.35 moles of H2O is to be produced?

From the equation of the reaction;

2 mol of H2O2 produces 4 mol of H2O

x mol of H2O2 produces 1.35 mol of H2O

2 = 4

x = 1.35

x = 1.35 * 2 / 4 = 0.675 mol

c. How many moles of H2O are formed if 1.87 moles of N2 is produced?

The relationship between H2O produced and N2 is;

For every 1 mol of N2 produced, 4 mol of H2O is produced

1.87 mol of N2 produced, how many moles of H2O is produced?

1 = 4

1.87 = x

x = 1.87 * 4 / 1 = 7.48 mol
