Question

90% $H_2{O}_2$ is used as an oxidant for rocket fuel with hydrazine.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

$H_2{O}_2$ oxidize $H_{2}NN{H}_2$ to free $N_2$ and water.

$H_{2}N-{NH}_{2\left(l\right)}+2H_2{O}_{2\left(l\right)}\to N_2\left(g\right)+4H_2{O}_{\left(g\right)}$ $+$heat.

Reaction is exothermic and the products being gases at the temperature of reaction there is tremendous increase in pressure. Hence, this mixture is used as a rocket propellant.
