TNT, or trinitrotoluene, has the chemical formula C₇H₅N₃O₆.How many grams of nitrogen are present in 25 g TNT (227.13 g/mol)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molar mass of TNT is 227.13 g/mol. The molar mass of nitrogen is 14.01 g/mol. There are 3 nitrogen atoms in each molecule of TNT. Therefore, the mass of nitrogen in 25 g of TNT is:(25 g TNT) x (1 mol TNT / 227.13 g TNT) x (3 mol N / 1 mol TNT) x (14.01 g N / 1 mol N) = 4.6 g N

TNT, or Trinitrotoluene, Has the Chemical Formula C7H5N3O6
