Ammonium perchlorate is a powerful solid rocket fuel, used in the space shuttle boosters. it decomposes into nitrogen gas, chlorine gas, oxygen gas and water vapor, releasing a great deal of energy. calculate the moles of ammonium perchlorate needed to produce of nitrogen. be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to significant digits.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
