TNT is manufactured by the reaction of toluene with nitric acid according to the following equation: C7H8 (l) + 3 HNO3 (aq) ---> C7H5(NO2)3 (s) + 3 H2O(l) Calculate the mass of TNT expected from the reaction of 69.0 g of toluene

170. g C₇H₅(NO₂)₃

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Stoichiometry

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

RxN:   C₇H₈ (l) + 3HNO₃ (aq) → C₇H₅(NO₂)₃ (s) + 3H₂O (l)

Given:   69.0 g C₇H₈ (Toluene)

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of C₇H₈ - 7(12.01) + 8(1.01) = 92.15 g/mol

Molar Mass of C₇H₅(NO₂)₃ - 7(12.01) + 5(1.01) + 3(14.01) + 6(16.00) = 227.15 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

= 170.085 g C₇H₅(NO₂)₃

Step 4: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

170.085 g C₇H₅(NO₂)₃ ≈ 170. g C₇H₅(NO₂)₃

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary
