Hydrazine, N2H4, can be used as fuel to orient and maneuver spacecraft. The energy used to do so is obtained by reacting the hydrazine with dinitrogen tetroxide to form nitrogen gas and water vapor.
Write and balance the chemical equation for this reaction.The spy satellite US-193 had 453 kg of hydrazine on board when it was destroyed. What mass of dinitrogen tetroxide would have had to be on board in order to completely react with the hydrazine? This reaction is a redox reaction. Assign oxidation states to each atom in the reaction,identify what is oxidized, what is reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. Answer in full please.

- Archimedes tells us the lifting power of a balloon (how much mass it can lift) is equal to the difference between the mass of the balloon and the mass of the air it displaces. That is, if the balloon occupies the same volume as 10 kg of air, but the balloon only weighs 2 kg, then the balloon can lift 8 kg. Airships have sometimes been filled with hydrogen (H₂), but hydrogen is very flammable, and after the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed in 1937 with serious loss of life airships have nearly always been filled with helium (He) instead. Passengers with H₂: Passengers with He: gas 0 H₂ He air density 0.090 0.18 1.23 kg 3 m kg 3 m kg Suppose a new airship Star of Balogna will have the shape of a cylinder 100. m long, with a radius of 15.0 m, and will weigh 9250. kg without any gas inside it.
