and the system reaches equilibrium?
(ii) How many blue particles and black particles are in A after the stopcocks are opened
and the system reaches equilibrium?

Nitroglycerin (C;H;N3O9) is a powerful explosive. Its decomposition may be represented by
4C H;N3O9 6N2 + 12CO, +10H,0 02
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.
(a) What is the maximum amount of O, in grams that can be obtained from 8.00 x 10 g of
nitroglycerin?
(b) Calculate the percent vield in this reaction if the amount of O, generated is found to be 26.3 g.

Solar winds composed of free protons, electrons, and particles bombard Earth constantly, knocking gas molecules outof the atmosphere. In this way, Earth loses about 3.0 kg of mat-ter per second. It is estimated that the atmosphere will be gone inabout 50 billion years. Use this estimate to calculate (a) the mass(kg) of Earth’s atmosphere and (b) the amount (mol) of nitrogen,which makes up 75.5 mass % of the atmosphere.
