Nitrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form dinitrogen tetroxide. When the equation is written and balanced, the sum of the coefficients is __________.

Answer 1

Nitrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form dinitrogen tetroxide. When the equation is written and balanced, the sum of the coefficients is 3.

Nitrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form dinitrogen tetroxide

By catalytically oxidizing ammonia, nitrogen tetroxide is produced; steam is employed as a diluent to lower the combustion temperature. The ammonia is converted into nitric oxide in the initial step:

 4 NH3 + 5O2   →    6 H2O  + 4 NO

The gases are further cooled and the majority of the water is condensed; the created nitric oxide is then converted to nitrogen dioxide, which is dimerized into nitrogen tetroxide:

2 NO + O2 →2 NO2

2 NO2 ⇌ N2O4

Dinitrogen tetroxide

Dinitrogen tetroxide is the chemical molecule N2O4, also known as nitrogen tetroxide (NTO) and occasionally amyl (typically among ex-USSR/Russian rocket engineers). It is a helpful reagent in the synthesis of chemicals. It and nitrogen dioxide combine to form an equilibrium combination. It has a 92.011 g/mol molar mass.

Dinitrogen tetroxide is a potent oxidizer that spontaneously reacts when it comes into touch with different types of hydrazine, making it the two popular bipropellants for rockets.
