Ammonium perchlorate is the solid rocket fuel used by the U. S. Space Shuttle. It reacts with itself to produce nitrogen gas , chlorine gas , oxygen gas , water , and a great deal of energy. What mass of water is produced by the reaction of 9.6 g of ammonium perchlorate

2.94 g of water are produced by this decomposition

Explanation:

We need to determine the reaction to solve this problem:

The reactant is the ammonium perchlorate

The products are N₂, Cl₂, O₂ and H₂O

The reaction is: 2NH₄ClO₄ →  N₂ + Cl₂ + 2O₂ + 4H₂O

We convert the mass of the reactant to moles:

9.6 g . 1 mol / 117.45 g = 0.0817 moles

Ratio is 2:4. Let's make a rule of three:

2 moles of perchlorate produce 4 moles of water.

Then, 0.0817 moles of perchlorate will produce (0.0817 . 4)/2 = 0.163 moles

We convert the moles of produced water, to mass (g)

0.613 mol . 18 g / 1mol = 2.94 g

water   molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.
