Question

The fuel used to power the booster rockets on the space shuttle is a mixture of aluminum metal and ammonium perchlorate. The following balanced equation represents the reaction of these two ingredients:

3Al(s)+3NH4ClO4(s)Al2O3(s)+AlCl3(g)+3NO(g)+6H2O(g)3 \mathrm { Al } ( s ) + 3 \mathrm { NH } _ { 4 } \mathrm { ClO } _ { 4 } ( s ) \longrightarrow \mathrm { Al } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 3 } ( s ) + \mathrm { AlCl } _ { 3 } ( g ) + 3 \mathrm { NO } ( g ) + 6 \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } ( g )

.a If

1.50×105g1.50 \times 10 ^ { 5 } g

of Al react, what mass of

NH4ClO4\mathrm { NH } _ { 4 } \mathrm { ClO } _ { 4 }

, in grams, is required? b. If aluminum reacts with 620 kg of

NH4ClO4\mathrm { NH } _ { 4 } \mathrm { ClO } _ { 4 }

, what mass of nitrogen monoxide is produced?
