How many moles of tnt would be detonated if you used 539.88 grams of tnt? the structure of tnt is c7h5n3o6. round your answer to two decimal places.

Moles of TNT = 2.38 moles

Explanation:

First , calculate the molar mass of the compound TNT

The formula is : C7H5N3O6

How to calculate molar mass?

Molar mass : It is the mass of substance in grams which is present in 1 mole of the compound.It is calculated by:

Molar mass = Number of atoms x the atomic mass of the element

Atomic mass of the elements are given below :

C = 12.0107

H = 1.0079

N = 14.0067

O = 15.9994

Molar mass of C7H5N3O6 =

= (7 x C) + (5 x H) + (3 x N) + (6 x O)

= 7(12.0107) +5(1.0079) + 3(14.0067) + 6(15.9994)

Molar mass = 227 .13 gram/mole

Mole are calculated using the formula:

Given mass = 539.88 grams

Molar mass = 227.13 g/mole

= 2.3769

Moles = 2.38 moles
