Question

The balanced equation for the decomposition of ammonium nitrate is

2 NH₄ NO₃(s) → 2 N₂(g)+O₂(g)+4 H₂ O(g)

(a) Select the mole ratios that relate moles of each product to the reactant NH₄ NO₃.

1 mol O₂/2 mol NH₄ NO₃       4 mol H₂ O/2 mol NH₄ NO₃

2 mol NH₄ NO₃/4 mol H₂ O    2 mol N₂/2 mol NH₄ NO₃

2 mol NH4 NO₃/1 mol O₂          2 mol NH₄ NO₃/2 mol N₂

(b) How many moles of each product would form if 1.00 mol of NH₄ NO₃ reacts?

Moles of N₂=_______  mol N₂

Moles of O₂=_______  mol O₂

Moles of H₂ O=_______  mol H₂ O

(c) How many moles of each product would form if 18.2 mol of NH₄ NO₃ react?

Moles of N₂=_______  mol N₂

Moles of O₂=_______  mol O₂

Moles of H₂ O=_______  molH₂ O
