How much nitrogen can be obtained from ammonium nitrite, weighing 3 kg according to the equation: NH4NO2 = N2 + 2H2O?

The decomposition reaction of ammonium nitrite is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

NH4NO2 = N2 + 2H2O;

From one mole of salt, one mole of nitrogen is formed.

Let’s find the amount of the salt substance.

M NH4NO2 = 14 + 4 + 14 + 16 x 2 = 64 grams / mol;

N NH4NO2 = 3000/64 = 46.875 mol;

Under normal conditions, one mole of ideal gas takes up a volume of 22.4 liters.

N N2 = 46.875 x 22.4 = 1,050 liters;
