What type of oxygen balance does trinitrotoluene (TNT, C7H5N3O6) have?

Chemistry

a. Negative

Explanation:

We have to look at its oxidation (burning, explosion) of TNT:

4 C₇H₅N₃O₆ + 21 O₂ → 28 CO₂ + 10 H₂O + 6 N₂ + heat

So trinitrotoluene need more oxygen atoms that is have to be fully oxidized so the oxygen balance will be negative.

An empirical formula with which you calculate the oxygen balance percent (OB %) is:

OB % = (-1600 / molecular wight) × [2X + (Y/2) + M - Z)

were

X =  number of carbon atoms

Y = number of hydrogen atoms

M = number of metal atoms

Z =  number of oxygen atoms

For TNT:

OB % = (-1600 / 227.13) × [2×7 + (5/2) + 0 - 6)

OB % = -73.97 %

So the oxygen balance percent is negative.

A block of wood has the mass of 180 grams.it is 10 cm long,6 cm wide and 4 cm thick.what is it’s density?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

0.75 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of wooden block =  180 g

Length of block = 10 cm

Width of block = 6 cm

Height or thickness = 4 cm

Density of block = ?

Solution:

Volume of block = height × length × width

Volume of block = 4 cm × 10 cm× 6 cm

Volume of block = 240 cm³

Density of block:

density = mass/ volume

d = 180 g/ 240 cm³

d = 0.75 g/cm³
