(VI) A sample of NH_3 gas is completely decomposed to nitrogen and hydrogen gases. a) Write a balanced chemical equation of this reaction.

Explanation / Answer

(IV)

(a)

Oxidation # of Cr in K2Cr2O7 is: +6

Oxidation # of Cr in Cr2O3 is: +3

Manganese is an oxidizing agent, as is visible from the strong oxidizing agent KMnO4

(b)

Oxidation # of O in H2O2 is: -1

Oxidation # of Cr in O2 is: 0

Oxygen is an oxidizing agent.

(V)

17 moles methane would produce 17 moles O2, which occupies 22.4*17 L volume at STP

Using relation:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Putting values:

1*(22.4*17)/273 = 0.98*V2/298

V2 = 424.15 L

(VI)

Decomposition reaction is:

2NH3 ----> N2 + 3H2
