TERACTIVE EXAMPLE Using Enthalpies of Formation
Nitroglycerin is a powerful explosive that forms four different
gases when detonated:
2 C3H5(NO3)3(1)→ 3 N₂(g) + 12 O₂(g) + 6 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)
Calculate the enthalpy change that occurs when 18.0 g of
nitroglycerin is detonated. The standard enthalpies of formation
are shown below.
