Question

When 40 grams of ammonium nitrate explode 14 grams of nitrogen and 8 grams of oxygen form. How many grams of water form

Answer 1

Answer:

18 grams of water

Explanation:

The Balance Chemical Reaction is as follow,

                     2 NH₄NO₃    →    2 N₂  +  O₂  +  4 H₂O

According to Equation,

                     160 g (2 moles) NH₄NO₃ produces  =  72 g (4 moles) of H₂O

So,

                     40 g of NH₄NO₃ will produce  =  X g of H₂O

Solving for X,

                     X =  (40 g × 72 g) ÷ 160 g

                     X  =  18 g of H₂O
