1.	The mixture of hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide with copper (II) catalyst is used as a rocket propellant. Why ? Write the reactions involved.
Answer» Solution :When HYDRAZINE and hydrogen PEROXIDE reacrt in PRESENCE of `CU^(2+)` Catalyst the following reaction is takes place. `N_(2)H_(2)(I)+2H_(2)O_(2)(I)overset(Cu^(2+))toN_(2)(g)+4H_(2)O(g)` Since the formation of nitrogen and steam is accompaniedd with evolution of large amount of heat thus act as a rocked PROPELLANT.
