C.
explosives known. It decomposes as follows:
The explosive PETN, (pentaerthritol tetranitrate) is one of the most powerful
CCH,ONO,)4(9) -> 2 CO(g) + 4 H,0() + 3 COx(e) + 2 N,(g)
How many grams of PETN will react to fill a 30.0 L sphere to a pressure of 720 torr at 25°C?
D.
Methane is formed in landfills by the action of bacteria on buried organic matter.
When methane gas, CH, is collected from the landfill, it is saturated with water. What is the
volume of "wet" methane that must be collected at 20.0°C and 742 torr to be sure that the
sample contains 244 mL pure dry methane (also at 742 torr)?
