Chapter 4, Problem 124IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the dissociation reaction of ammonium dichromate, the product formed other than chromium (III) oxide and water needs to be determined. Also, the mass of third product formed from 1 kg of the reactant needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

From the number of moles of any chemical species, mass can be calculated as follows:

$m=n\times M$

Here, m is mass, n is number of moles and M is molar mass.

The balanced chemical reaction can be used to determine the third product in this case.
