Ammonium perchlorate nh4clo4 is a powerful solid rocket fuel, used in the space shuttle boosters. it decomposes into nitrogen n2 gas, chlorine cl2 gas, oxygen o2 gas and water vapor, releasing a great deal of energy. calculate the moles of water produced by the reaction of 2.5mol of ammonium perchlorate. be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 2 significant digits.

1.3 mol H₂O

Explanation:

Let's consider the decomposition reaction of ammonium perchlorate.

NH₄ClO₄(s) → 1/2 N₂(g) + 1/2 Cl₂(g) + O₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)

As we can see in the balanced equation, the molar ratio of ammonium perchlorate to water is 1:2. The moles of water produced by the reaction of 2.5 mol of ammonium perchlorate.

2.5 mol NH₄ClO₄ × (2 mol H₂O / 1 mol NH₄ClO₄) = 1.3 mol H₂O
