26. Nitroglycerin, C;H5(NO3)3(1), is an explosive most often used in mine or quarry blasting. It is a powerful explosive because four gases (N2, O2, CO2, and steam) are formed when nitroglycerin is detonated. In addition, 6.26 kJ of heat are given off per gram of nitroglycerin detonated. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the reaction. (b) What is AH when 4.65 mol of products are formed?

A bomb calorimeter, or a constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods. In an experiment, a 0.6770 g sample of quinizarin (C14H3O4) is burnmed completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is surrounded by 1.304x10° g of water. During the combustion the temperature increases from 25.97 to 28.55 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J gl°c!. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was determined in a previous experiment to be 893.2 J°C. Assuming that no energy is lost to the surroundings, calculate the molar heat of combustion of quinizarin based on these data.
