Question

Explosions using chemicals are accompanied by the release of hot gases, often seen by a shock wave traveling at speeds reaching 10300 m/s. Detonation of trinitrotoluene (TNT, $$C_{7}H$$_{5}$$N_{3}O$$_{6}) causes it to decompose and form the following gases: N_{2}, H_{2}, CO, and C. Write a balanced equation for the detonation of TNT.

Accepted Answer

2 $$C_{7}H$$_{5}$$N_{3}O$$_{6} → 3 N_{2} + 5 H_{2} + 12 CO + 2 C

Answer

2 $$C_{7}H$$_{5}$$N_{3}O$$_{6} → 3 N_{2} + 6 H_{2} + 3 CO + 3 C

Answer

$$C_{7}H$$_{5}$$N_{3}O$$_{6} → 3 N_{2} + 5 H_{2} + 6 CO + C

Answer

3 $$C_{7}H$$_{5}$$N_{3}O$$_{6} → 4 N_{2} + 4 H_{2} + 10 CO + C
