Description

Detonation of nitroglycerin proceeds as shown in the following equation.

4 C3H5O9N3(l) → 12 CO2(g) + 6 N2(g) + O2(g) + 10 H2O(g)

(a) If a sample containing 1.97 mL of nitroglycerine (density = 1.592 g/mL) is detonated, how many total moles of gas are produced?

(b) If each mole of gas occupies 43 L under the conditions of the explosion, how many liters of gas are produced?

(c) How many grams of N2 are produced in the detonation?

Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

a) mass=vol x density

=1.97x1.592

=3.13624g

moles=3.13624/536

=5.85 x 10^-3

b) 5.85 x 10^-3 x 43= 0.2516 L

c) 5.85 x 10^-3 x6/29

=1.21 x 10^-3 g

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
