What is the balanced chemical equation for nitroglycerin?
The balanced equation for the (spontaneous, explosive) decomposition of nitroglycerin: 4 C3H5N3O9 --> 12 CO2 + 10 H2O + 6 N2+O2
Is explosion of nitroglycerin a physical process or chemical process?
It is a chemical process. The nitroglycerin decomposes into water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen.
Stoichiometry problem for nitroglycerin?
The chemical formula for nitroglycerin is C3H5N3O9. To calculate the number of moles of nitroglycerin, divide the given mass of nitroglycerin by its molar mass (227.09 g/mol). To find the number of molecules of nitroglycerin, multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol).
A shorthand description of a chemical reaction using chemical formulas and symbols is a chemical what?
A chemical equation is a shorthand description of a chemical reaction.
