Nitroglycerin, an explosive, decomposes according to the following equation 4 C 3 H 5 (NO 3 ) 3 ( s ) ----> 12 CO 2

  1. Nitroglycerin, an explosive, decomposes according to the following equation

    4 C3H5(NO3)3(s) ----> 12 CO2(g) + 10 H2O(g) + 6 N2(g) + 1 O2(g)

    If the total volume of (all) gases produced is 185 L when collected at 1.43 atm and 311.3 K, calculate

    a) the total moles of gas present (give answer to 5 SFs) = mol

    b) the mass of nitroglycerin (molar mass = 227.1 g/mol) that would have reacted (give answer to correct # of SFs) = g

    c) the mole fractions, X, of the following gases AFTER the reaction is complete.

    i) N2 (XN2) (give answer as decimal to 3 SFs) =

    ii) O2 (XO2) (give answer as decimal to 3 SFs) =

    d) the partial pressures, P, of the following gases AFTER the reaction is over.

    i) CO2 (PCO2) = atm

    ii) H2O (PH2O) = = atm
