Question

b. One hundred pounds of TNT contains approximately 200 moles of TNT. If the TNT were ignited, how many liters of hot gases would be created?

Answer 1

Answer #1

TNT = trinitro toluene with molecular formula C₇H₅N₃O₆

2 C₇H₅N₃O₆ + 21/2 O₂ 14 CO_2(g) + 5H₂O_(l) + 3N_2(g)

2 moles of TNT produces 14+3 = 17 moles of gases (CO₂ + N₂)

200 moles of TNT produces 1700 moles of hot gases.

1 mol of gas at STP = 22.4 l

1700 moles of gas = 22.4 x 1700 l = 38080 l

The chemical 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene is better known by its initials, TNT. It is an important explosive, since it can very quickly change from a solid into hot expanding gases. Two moles of solid TNT almost instantly changes to 15 moles of hot gases. If two moles of TNT can change into 15 moles of hot gases, how many liters of hot gases would be created?
