Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The use of ammonium nitrate in its reaction with fuel oil.
Interpretation: The reason for ammonium nitrate being widely used in reaction with fuel oil is to be explained.
Concept Introduction: The ammonium nitrate releases oxygen gas on decomposition.
(b)
To determine: The elements which are oxidized and reduced in the given reaction.
Interpretation: The elements which are oxidized and reduced in the reaction of ammonium nitrate with fuel oil are to be identified.
Concept Introduction: The oxidation means loss of electrons and reduction means gain of electrons.
(c)
To determine: The balanced chemical equation for the given reaction.
Interpretation: The balanced chemical equation for the thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate.
Concept Introduction: The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to that on the product side.

- Show work. don't give Ai generated solutionarrow_forwardIn intercalation compounds, their sheets can be neutral or have a negative or positive charge, depending on the nature of the incorporated species and its structure. Is this statement correct?arrow_forwardThis thermodynamic cycle describes the formation of an ionic compound MX2 from a metal element M and nonmetal element X in their standard states. What is the lattice enthalpy of MX2 ? What is the enthalpy formation of MX2 ? Suppose both the heat of sublimation of M and the ionization enthalpy of M were smaller. Would MX2 be more stable? Or less? or impossible to tell without more information?arrow_forward
