Answer:

742.2 L

Explanation:

First we must find the number of moles of nitroglycerine reacted.

Molar mass of nitroglycerine= 227.0865 g/mol

Mass of nitroglycerine involved = 1×10^3 g

Number of moles of nitroglycerine= 1×10^3g/227.0865 g/mol

n= 4.40361 moles

T= 1985°C + 273= 2258K

P= 1.100atm

R= 0.082atmLmol-1K-1

Using the ideal gas equation:

PV= nRT

V= nRT/P

V= 4.40361× 0.082× 2258/1.1

V= 742 L
