Question

Nitroglycerin is a shock-sensitive liquid that
detonates by the reaction
4C3H5(NO3)3(`) −!
6N2(g) + 10H2O(g) + 12CO2(g) + O2(g)
Calculate the total volume of product gases
at 205 kPa and 263C from the detonation of
2.9 lb (1315.4 g) of nitroglycerin.

Answer 1

Convert g nitro to mols. mols = grams/molar mass.

Using the coefficients convert mols nitro to mols H2O, mols CO2, mols N2, and mols O2. Add mols to obtain total mols, then use PV = nRT to calculate volume in L.
