During the Ostwald process, nitrogen monoxide is made from ammonia at about 900°C and
then cooled to 30°C before being reacted with air to make nitrogen(IV) oxide. Both these
reactions are exothermic. Why are the temperatures used for these reactions so different?
Ammonium perchlorate (NH4CIO4) is a solid rocket fuel used in space shuttles. When heated above
200°C, it decomposes to a variety of gaseous products, of which the most important are N2, Cl2, O2, and
water vapor.
a. Write a balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of NH4ClO4, assuming the products
just listed are the only ones generated.
b. The sudden appearance of hot gaseous products in a small initial volume leads to rapid increase in
pressure and temperature, which give the rocket it thrust. What total pressure of gas would be

- Silicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane.

- Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter.
