Nitroglycerine, C3H5N3O9, explodes with tremendous force due to the numerous gaseous products. The equation for the explosion of nitroglycerine is: 4C3H5N3O9 (l) --> 12CO2 (g) + O2 (g) + 6N2 (g) + 10H2O (g)

Volume of the rigid steel container: 1.00 L

Molar mass of nitroglycerine: 227g/mol

Temperature: 300k

Amount of nitroglycerine tested: 227g

Value for ideal gas constant, R: .0821 L*atm/mol*K

What is the total pressure produced in this explosion?

I got 179 however the teacher said it was 25. What is correct?

yes it is balanced

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
