Nitroglycerine, C3H5(NO3)3(l), is an explosive most often used in mine or quarry blasting. It is a powerful explosive because four gases (N2, O2, CO2, and steam) are formed when nitroglycerine is detonated. In addition, 6.26 kJ of heat is given off per gram of nitroglycerine detonated. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the reaction. (b) What is ΔH when 4.65 mol of products is formed?
