Answer:
- 25.0 liter of nitrogen gas
Explanation:
1. Chemical equation
Ammonium nitrite is a solid compound that decomposes into nitrogen gas and water vapor as per this chemical equation:
[tex]NH_4NO_2(s)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(g)[/tex]
2. Mole ratio
[tex]1molN_2(g)/2molH_2O(g)[/tex]
3. Volume ratio
Since, both species are gases and are at same temperature and pressure, the volume ratio is equal to the mol ratio.
Thus, the volume ratio is:
[tex]1literN_2(g)/2literH_2O(g)[/tex]
4. Use the volume ratio with the known amount of water produced
[tex]50.0literH_2O(g)\times 1literN_2(g)/2literH_2O(g)=25.0literN_2(g)[/tex]
