Nitroglycerin C3H5(NO3)2 is a common explosive which decomposes according to the equation.
4C3H5(NO3)2 - 12CO2 + 10H2O + O2 +6N2 ΔH= -5.720*10^3 KJ. Calculate the heat for the decomposition for the 10.6g of the Nitroglycerin.

The molar mass of nitroglycerin is 165. So the problem tells you that 5.72E3 kJ is released by 4*165 g. You have 10.6 g.
5.720E3 kJ x (10.2/4*165) = ?
