Some spacecraft use UDMH, a compound similar to hydrazine, as a propellant.
UDMH has a composition by mass of 40.0%40.0\%40.0% carbon, 46.6%46.6\%46.6% nitrogen, and 13.4%13.4\%13.4% hydrogen. Calculate the empirical formula of UDMH.
The relative molecular mass (MrM_rMr) of UDMH is 60.060.060.0. What is the molecular formula of UDMH?
UDMH (C2H8N2\text{C}_2\text{H}_8\text{N}_2C2H8N2) reacts with dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4\text{N}_2\text{O}_4N2O4) as a propellant. Balance the equation for this reaction:
[C2H8N2+‾N2O4→‾N2+‾CO2+‾H2O [\text{C}_2\text{H}_8\text{N}_2 + \underline{\quad}\text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \rightarrow \underline{\quad}\text{N}_2 + \underline{\quad}\text{CO}_2 + \underline{\quad}\text{H}_2\text{O} [C2H8N2+N2O4→N2+CO2+H2OThe enthalpy change (ΔH\Delta HΔH) for this reaction is −1800 kJ/mol-1800\text{ kJ/mol}−1800 kJ/mol. State how this value shows that the reaction is exothermic.
