The overall balanced
chemical reaction for this is:
Detonation of
Nirtoglycerin <span>
4 C3H5N3O9 --> 12 CO2 + 6 N2 + O2 + 10 H2O </span>
Therefore:
2.00 mL x 1.592 g/mL =
3.184 g <span>
3.184 g / 227.1 /mol = 0.0140 mol nitroglycerin
4 moles --> 12 + 6 + 1 + 10 = 29 moles of gas
<span>0.0140 mol x (29/4) = 0.1017 moles of gases or (0.102 mol) </span></span>
