What mass of water is produced by the reaction of of ammonium perchlorate?

Round your answer to significant digits.

Ammonium perchlorate (NH4ClO4) is the solid rocket fuel used by the U.S. Space Shuttle. It reacts with itself to produce nitrogen gas (N2), chlorine gas (Cl2), oxygen gas (O2), water (H2O), and a great deal of energy. What mass of water is produced by the reaction of 9.15 g of ammonium perchlorate?

Explanation / Answer

MOLECULAR MASS OF NH4CLO4 = 117.5 MOLECULAR MASS OF H20= 18 SO, 117.5 gm OF NH4CLO4 PRODUCES 18 gm of water therefore 1gm NH4CLO4 produces 18/117.5 gm of water hence, 9.15 gm of ammonium percholate produces = 18/117.5* 9.15 i.e = 1.402
