Nitroglycerin, 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 nitroglycerin is detonated. In addition, 6.26 kJ of heat are given off per gram of nitroglycerin detonated.

(a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the reaction.

(b) What is ΔH when 4.65 mol of products are formed?
