A common method to produce ammonium nitrate, an important agricultural fertilizer, is to combine ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4, with sodium nitrate, NaNO3, as shown in the following balanced equation. (NH4)2SO4(s) + 2 NaNO3(s) → Na2SO4(s) + 2 NH4NO3(s) If 684.7 g (NH4)2SO4 is reacted with excess NaNO3 and produces 772.1 g NH4NO3, what is the percent yield?

Solutions

Expert Solution

(NH4)2SO4(s) + 2 NaNO3(s) ---------------> Na2SO4(s) + 2 NH4NO3(s)

132.1395 g 160.09 g

684.7 g ??

theoretical yield of NH4NO3 = 684.7 x 160.09 / 132.1395

= 829.5 g

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield ) x 100

= (772.1 / 829.5 ) x 100

% yield = 93.1 %

(Silberberg, Problem 4.108) Ammonium nitrate, a common fertilizer, is used as an explosive in fireworks and by terrorists. In 2006, the RCMP set up a sting operation in Toronto where they arrested 18 members of an alleged terrorist cell who had ordered three metric tonnes (1 tonne = 1000 kg) of ammonium nitrate. If this quantity of ammonium nitrate decomposes explosively to nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapour, calculate the partial pressures (in atm) of each gas formed.

Ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, is used as a N fertilizer and has the potential to degrade water quality due to its solubility. The US EPA mean contaminant level (MCL) for nitrate concentrations in drinking water is 10 mg NO3 L-1. First, calculate the Ksp for NH4NO3. Express your answer as a number rather than in a power of 10 (e.g., 100 instead of 10^2). The Ksp does not need units. Next, calculate the molarity of the equilbirum concentration of NO3. Units...
