Hydrogen peroxide, H₂O₂, is prepared industrially from the reaction of oxygen and isopropyl alcohol, C₃H₇OH. Hydrogen peroxide reacts explosively with hydrazine, N₂H₄, and is used as a rocket fuel. The reactions for manufacturing hydrazine and the rocket explosion are as follows.

Starting with 50.0 mL of isopropyl alcohol (d = 0.786 g/mL) and excess other reactants, calculate:

(a) The mass of nitrogen gas produced

(b) The volume of nitrogen gas produced at STP

(c) The mass of water produced.
