Answer:
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
