Problem

Ammonium nitrate can decompose with explosion by the following reaction.

\text{NH}_4\text{NO}_3(\text{s}) \rightarrow \text{N}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}

;

H = -37.0 \text{ kJ/mol}

Calculate the heat produced when 2.50 g of

\text{NH}_4\text{NO}_3

decomposes - (A) 1.06 kJ (B) 0.96 kJ (C) 1.16 kJ (D) 1.26 kJ
