Ammonium nitrate is an explosive and a fertilizer. Once a reaction is sparked (by some other means) the ammonium nitrate quickly decomposes into dinitrogen oxide gas and gaseous water and releases 36 kJ of energy per mol reaction. What is the balanced chemical reaction? (include states) 5. a. b. In the Beirut port, 4.35 tonnes (1 tonne =1000 kg) of ammonium nitrate were being stored. How much energy was released when it exploded?

91. A common demonstration in chemistry courses involves adding a tiny speck of manganese(IV) oxide to a concentrated hydro- gen peroxide (H₂O₂) solution. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes quite spectacularly under these conditions to produce oxygen gas and steam (water vapor). Manganese(IV) oxide is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and is not consumed in the reaction. Write the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide. 92. Iron oxide ores, commonly a mixture of FeO and Fe,O,, are given the general formula Fe,O,. They yield elemental iron when heated to a very high temperature with either carbon monoxide or elemen- tal hydrogen. Balance the following equations for these processes: Fe,O(s) + H₂(g) →→→ Fe 0.(s) + CO(e) Fe(s) + H₂O(e) Fe(s) + CO)

2. NITROGEN MOLECULES It is difficult to think that some good things come from the powerful bust of electrical energy. During thunderstorms, the nitrogen and oxygen from the air react to form oxides of nitrogen. These oxides dissolve in the rain and are absorbed by the soil, fertilized with nitrogen. According to studies, more than 50% of usable nitrogen is generated from the atmosphere in this process. Explain the process that happens to nitrogen and oxygen during a thunderstorm in terms of chemical bonding. What is the benefit of this bond? (P) 3. ALLOYS Metal alloys are created through metallic bonding. Two examples of alloys are brass (zinc and copper) and steel (carbon and iron). Metallic bonding is utilized for its conductive properties to help transfer electricity throughout a house via copper wiring. Metallic bonds also exist between cast iron, which is made up of iron and carbon, bronze (Cu &Sn), stainless steel (Fe, Cr, C, In), and so on. It is used mostly to improve the…
