The reusable booster rockets of the U.S. space shuttle use a mixture of aluminum and ammonium perchlorate for fuel. A possible equation for this reaction is 3 Al(s) + 3 NH4ClO4(s) → Al2O3(s) + AlCl3(s) + 3 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g). What mass of Al should be used in the fuel mixture for every kilogram of NH4ClO4?

Ammonium perchlorate, NH4ClO4, is the oxidizer used in the booster rockets of the space shuttle. The booster rocket engines are the two smaller engines positioned on either side of the space shuttle; the main rocket engine is the very large engine positioned under the shuttle. When NH4ClO4 (s) decomposes thermally, the products of the reaction are N2(g), O2(g), H2O(g), and HCl(g). Write the balanced equation (including phases) for this reaction. Express the answer as a chemical equation.
