Write a balanced equation for the reaction and identify the


At liftoff, the space shuttle uses a solid mixture of ammonium perchlorate and aluminum powder to obtain great thrust from the volume change of solid to gas. In the presence of a catalyst, the mixture forms solid aluminum oxide and aluminum trichloride and gaseous water and nitrogen monoxide. (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction, and identify the reducing and oxidizing agents. (b) How many total moles of gas (water vapor and nitrogen monoxide) are produced when 50.0 kg of ammonium perchlorate reacts with a stoichiometric amount of Al? (c) What is the volume change from this reaction? (d of NH4ClO4= 195 g/cc, Al = 2.70 g/cc, Al2O3 = 3.97 g/cc, and AlCl3 = 2.44 g/cc; assume 1 mol of gas occupies 22.4 L.)
