Nthe following reaction, how many grams of nitroglycerin c3h5(no3)3 will decompose to give 120 grams of water?
4c3h5(no3)3(l) 12co2(g) + 6n2(g) + 10h2o(g) + o2(g)

the molar mass of nitroglycerin is 227.0995 grams and that of water is 18.0158 grams.

Answer : The mass of nitroglycerin decompose is 604.1 grams.

Solution : Given,

Mass of = 120 g

Molar mass of = 18.0158 g/mole

Molar mass of = 227.0995 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of .

Now we have to calculate the moles of

The balanced chemical reaction is,

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 10 moles of produced from 4 moles of

So, 6.66 moles of produced from moles of

Now we have to calculate the mass of

Therefore, the mass of nitroglycerin decompose is 604.1 grams.
