Be sure to answer all parts.
Nitroglycerin (C;H;N3O9) is a powerful explosive. Its decomposition may be represented by
4C3H3N3O9 → 6N2 + 12CO, + 10H20 + O2
This reaction generates a large amount of heat and gaseous products. It is the sudden formation of
these gases, together with their rapid expansion, that produces the explosion.

- PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FOR BOTH PARTS OF THE QUESTION BELOW!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH!! A student conducts the following reaction: CH4 + H2O ? 3 H2 + CO If the student starts with 89.5 g CH4, what is the percent yield of the reaction if only 27.7 grams of H2 were produced? AND A chemistry mixes 108 g of H2O, with 186 L of NO2 at STP. How many grams of NO will be produced? The balanced equation for this reaction is: H2O + 3 NO2 ? 2 HNO3 + NOarrow_forwardGaseous nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) is injected in a 1.0-L container where it starts decomposing irreversibly. 2NOCl(g) → 2NO(g) + Cl2(g) The container is insulated (no heat exchange with its surroundings) and has a movable part that allows one to change its volume. Before the reaction is over, the container’s volume is abruptly increased to 1.5 L. Use collision theory to explain how this will affect the rate at which NOCl decomposesarrow_forward21 Consider the combustion of in oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. In an experiment, 0.1063 g of C₅H₈ is combusted to produce enough heat to raise the temperature of 150.0 g of water by 7.632 °C. C₅H₈ (l) + 7 O₂ (g) → 5 CO₂ (g) + 4 H₂O (g) e If -4790 J of heat was produced from the combustion of 0.561 moles of C5H8, what is the enthalpy change (in kJ/mol) for the combustion of C5H8?arrow_forward

- 5arrow_forwardAnna was asked to identify and explain if the equation CO2 (1)-CO2 (g) was an endothermic or exothermic reaction. However she got it wrong. What is her error and what should the answer have been? Anna's statement : The equation is an endothermic reaction because the energy is released from gaseous CO2 to the surroundings to become liquid CO2 causing the molecules to slow down. earch a inse # % & 3 4 7 8 9 E R Y P D G H J L V BN M altarrow_forwardA sample of gas occupies a volume of 74.8 mL74.8 mL.
