Hydrazine reaction with dinitrogen tetroxide

The strong oxidizing agent dinitrogen tetroxide is used for many applications. It is employed as a catalyst in oxidation reactions and as an inhibitor in the distillation of acrylates. It is also used in the manufacture of explosives and as bleach. In rocket propellants, it is used in a hypergolic mixture with hydrazine derivatives. The command module of the Apollo mission used a 1 1 mixture of hydrazine and N,N -dimethylhydrazine with N2O4 as the oxidant. 

Because this reaction produces an enormous amount of energy from a small amount of reactants, it was used to drive the rockets on the Lunar Excursion Modules (LEMs) of the Apollo space program. If 2.0 moles of dimethyl hydrazine are mixed with 4.0 moles of dinitrogen tetroxide, and the reaction achieves an 85% yield, how many moles of N2, H2O, and CO2 will be formed ... 

The landing module for the Apollo mission used a fuel made of hydrazine, N2H4, and a derivative of hydrazine. The oxidizer was dinitrogen tetroxide, N2O4. These substances are normally liquids and therefore easier to store than liquid hydrogen and oxygen. The reaction of the oxidizer with hydrazine is...
