together as a rocket fuel. The products of the reaction are nitrogen and water.
How many grams of H O are needed per kg (1000 g) of hydrazine carried by the

rocket?
Solution: The reaction is,
Hydrazine + Hydrogen peroxide o Nitrogen + Water
The balanced chemical equation is,
N H 4 + 2H O o N 2 + 4H O

Calculations based on mass-volume and volume-volume
relationships
The following relationships are useful for solving problems based on mass-
volume, and volume-volume relationships:
–1
Molar volume of a gas at NTP = 22.4 L mol (= 22400 mL)
i.e., 1 mol of each gas under NTP conditions occupies a volume of 22.4 L.
These calculations are illustrated through the following examples:
EXAMPLE 5.26. 2.3 g of metallic sodium reacts with excess of water. Calculate
the mass of sodium hydroxide formed. What is the volume of hydrogen evolved
under NTP conditions?
Solution: Sodium reacts with water according to the equation,
2Na(s) + 2H O o 2NaOH(aq) + H (g)

2 mol 2 mol 1 mol
2 × 23 g 2 (23 + 16 + 1) 2 g
46 g 80 g 22.4 L (at NTP)
2.3 × 80
Thus, 2.3 g of sodium gives = 4.0 g of NaOH
46
22.4 × 2.3
and 2.3 g of sodium gives = 1.12 L of H gas
46 2
Therefore, Mass of NaOH formed = 4.0 g
Volume of H evolved at NTP = 1.12 L
