When iron rusts it forms Fe 2O 3. Name this product of air oxidation.
Among the substances that react with oxygen and that have been considered as potential rocket fuels are diborane [B2H6(g), which produces B2O3(s) and H2O(g)], methane [CH4(g), which produces CO2(g) and H2O(g)], and hydrazine [N2H4(l), which produces N2(g) and H2O(g)]. On the basis of the heat released by 3.19 kg of each substance in its reaction with oxygen, and assuming that thermal energy is the most desirable property in rocket designs, evaluate the possibility of each being used as a rocket fuel. (Hint: Use the Supplemental Data to compute ΔHorxn in kJ/mol, and qsurr in MJ for each fuel. Enter unrounded values.) diborane ΔHorxn = qsurr =

Standard airbags for automobiles used to implement the formation of sodium azide as a source of nitrogen gas. This has since been replaced due to the potential caustic nature of the products. The sodium azide required for automobile air bags is made by the reaction of sodium metal with dinitrogen oxide in liquid ammonia: 3N2O(g) + 4Na(s) + NH3(l)→ NaN3(s) + 3NaOH(s) + 2N2(g) a. You have 65.0 g of sodium and a 35.0 L flask containing N2O gas with a pressure of 2.12 atm at 296 K. What is the maximum possible yield (in grams) of the NaN3?
Calcium propionate is sometimes added to bread to retard spoilage. This compound can be prepared by the reaction of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, with propionic acid, C2H5CO2H, which has properties similar to those ofacetic acid. Write the balanced equation for the formation of calcium propionate.

Hematite, Fe₂O3, is an important ore of iron. (An ore is a natural substance from which the metal can be profitably obtained.) The free metal is obtained by reacting hematite with carbon monoxide, CO, in a blast furnace. Carbon monoxide is formed in the furnace by partial combustion of carbon.
