Hydrazine, N2H4, and hydrogen, H2O2, have been used as rocket propellants. They react according to the equation: H2O2 + N2H4 → N2 + H2O

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

b. How many moles of H2O2 are required if 1.35 moles of H2O is to be produced? (0.675)

c. How many moles of H2O are formed if 1.87 moles of N2 is produced? (7.48)

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
