Explain nickel hydrazine perchlorate

Reference no: EM13170992

A grad student made the news for all the WRONG reasons a few years ago when he synthesized a "nickel hydrazine perchlorate" compound (but didn't give any more detailed information) on a scale 1000 times larger than what his lab advisor told him to make (10g instaed of 0.010g) and ground it with a mortar and pestle (when the compound is explosive and shock-sensitive) and douced it with hexane (flammable solvent). The student lost a few fingers when the compound exploded. The likely formula for the compound is Ni(N2H4)2(ClO4)2, where the hydrazine is a neutral ligand and the nickle is +2. If 10g of this compound reacted completely into its component elements, how many liters of gas would be produced at 298K and 1atm? If you imagined the hydrazine decompostion and the nickel/perchlorate decomposition as seperate reactions, how much energy would be given off? (The heats of formation for hydrazine and nickel (II) are in your text; I had to estimate the heat for formation for perchlorate but assume it to be approx. 200kJ/mol). Show all work that got you to your answer.
