Chapter 3, Problem 3.30PAE
3.28 A packaging engineer is working on a new design for
cold packs. A burst chamber in the pack will contain
mL of water, which will be released and used to dis-
solve ammonium nitrate. (a) If the solubility of NH4NO3
is 190 g/ 100 g H2O, what mass of this compound should
be used with this amount of water? (b) The design speci-
fications indicate that these chemicals can account for no
more than 35% of the mass of the product. What would
the product weigh if it just meets these design specs?

Assume the air supply is composed of only N2 and O2 with a molar ratio of 3.76:1.00, and the N2 remains unreacted. In addition to the water produced, the fuels C is completely combusted to CO2 and its sulfur content is converted to SO2. In order to evaluate gases emitted at the exhaust stacks for environmental regulation purposes, the nitrogen supplied with the air must also be included in the balanced reactions. a Including the N2 supplied m the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when there is no excess oxygen in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2). Except in the case of N2, use only integer coefficients. b Including N2 supplied in the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 120% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when excess oxygen is present in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2).
