Question 3
Nitroglycerin is a dangerous powerful explosive that violently decomposes when it is shaken or dropped. The Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) founded
the Nobel Prizes with a fortune he made by inventing dynamite, a mixture of nitroglycerin and inert ingredients that was safe to handle.
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the
decomposition of liquid nitroglycerin (C,H,(NO,)) into gaseous dinitrogen,
gaseous dioxygen, gaseous water and gaseous carbon dioxide.
2. Suppose 30.0 L of carbon dioxide gas are produced by this reaction, at a
15.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of
temperature of
nitroglycerirn that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of
significant digits.

When entering units, use proper abbreviated units with proper capitalization. A student followed the procedure in this experiment, using 50.00 mL of 2.00 molar HCl and 51.00 mL of 2.00 molar NaOH both solutions having an initial temperature of 22.7 oC. After mixing, a maximum temperature of 32.2 oC is measured. The final mass of the mixture was found to be 107.87 grams. For this problem, assume the specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/g oC.
