Question

Ammonium perchlorate NH4ClO4 is a powerful solid rocket fuel, used in the Space Shuttle boosters. It decomposes into nitrogen N2 gas, chlorine Cl2 gas, oxygen O2 gas and water vapor, releasing a great deal of energy. Calculate the moles of chlorine produced by the reaction of 0.10mol of ammonium perchlorate. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.

* Reciction for the perchlorate is given as follows, 2NH2 (104 Notcle + 4H2O Ammonium perchlorate 6. 10 mol - ? cl₂ gers. Now, we know from the equation given above that or 2 mol Ammonium pencharate gives I moich gas. 2 mole NHC104 1 molecla gas u 0.10 molental ~ f moreel, gas- * cross multiplying, we get, mole of c = o. 10 mole x I male 2 male mole of th = 0.05 mal ch gas canned with
