The balanced equation for the decomposition of TNT, C7H5(NO2)3, is: 2 C7H5(NO2)3(s) --> 7 C(s) + 7 CO(g) + 3 N2(g) + 5 H2O(l) How many moles of each product would form if 3.99 mol of C7H5(NO2)3 react?
Added by Juan Luis L.
Step 1
So, if 3.99 moles of C7H5(NO2)3 react, we can calculate the moles of each product as follows: - For C: (7 moles C / 2 moles C7H5(NO2)3) * 3.99 moles C7H5(NO2)3 = 13.965 moles C Show more…

Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a highly explosive compound. The thermal decomposition of TNT is described by the following chemical equation: $$2 \mathrm{C}_{7} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{N}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{6}(s) \rightarrow 12 \mathrm{CO}(g)+5 \mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+3 \mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+2 \mathrm{C}(s)$$ If $\Delta H_{\text {rxn }}^{\circ}$ for the reaction is $-10,153 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$, how much TNT is needed to equal the explosive power of one mole of ammonium nitrate (see Problem $9.89) ?$
