(a) Liquid hydrazine, N2H4, is used as a rocket fuel because its enthalpy of
combustion is very
exothermic. The thermochemical equation for the combustion of hydrazine is as
follows:
N 2H4(l) + O2(g) N2(g) + 2H2O(g) H = 534.0 kJ
(i) 1.0 g of hydrazine is burnt in a bomb calorimeter. Calculate the temperature
change if the total heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter and its contents is 5.86
kJ C1. [5 marks]
(ii) Calculate the enthalpy of formation of hydrazine if the enthalpy of formation
of water vapour is 242.0 kJ mol1.
