How many moles of nitrous oxide (n2o) are produced when 1.40 moles of ammonium nitrate (nh4no3) decompes?

The answer to your question is 1.40 moles of N₂O

Explanation:

Balanced equation

                           NH₄NO₃   ⇒   N₂O  +  2 H₂O

                                 2     N   2

                                 4      H   4

                                 3      O   3

Process

1.- From the balanced equation, we know that 1 mol of NH₄NO₃ produces 1 mol of N₂O so, we use proportions to find the number of moles produced when 1.40 moles of NH₄NO₃ react.

                           1 mol of NH₄NO₃   1 mol of N₂O

                           1.40 moles               x

                           x = (1.40 x 1) / 1

                            x = 1.40 moles of N₂O are produced

it is important to conserve water because there is very limited amount of freshwater here on earth and if we are not smart about how we use it we will only be runnning out of our supply faster than neccessarry.
