Question

If a sample of ammonium nitrate yields 0.50 mol h2o, how many moles of n2o are formed

Answer 1

NH4NO3 -----> N2O + 2H2O

From the above balanced equation we can see that 1 mole of the nitrate forms 1 mole of N2O and 2 moles of water.

So if 0.5 moles water are formed then 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 moles of N2O are formed = Answer
