Hydrazine (n2h4) and dinitrogen tetroxide (n2o4) form a self-igniting mixture that has been used as a rocket propellant. the reaction products are n2 and h2o. (a) write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (use the lowest possible coefficients. omit states-of-matter in your answer.)

Answer:

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:


2N_2H_4+N_2O_4\rightarrow 3N_2+4H_2O

Step-by-step explanation:

When liquid hydrazine and dinitrogen tetroxide gas reacts together they give nitrogen gas and water vapors as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:


2N_2H_4+N_2O_4\rightarrow 3N_2+4H_2O

According to reaction, 2 moles of hydrazine reacts with 1 mole of dinitrogen tetroxide to give 3 moles of dinitrogen gas and 4 moles of water vapors.

Balanced chemical reaction: N₂O₄(l) + 2N₂H₄(l) → 3N₂(g) + 4H₂O(g).
There same number of atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction: six nitrogen atoms, eight hydrogen atoms and four oxygen atoms.
N₂ is molecule of nitrogen (gas).
H₂O is molecule of water (gas).
(l) means liquid state.
