    10.07 L is the volume for the produced N₂

    Explanation:

    This is a question for the Ideal Gases Equation:

    P. V = n. R. T

    In STP conditions, the pressure is 1 atm and the T° is 273K

    Let's determine the moles of produced N₂ by the decomposition of TNT

    The reaction is:

    2 C₇H₅ (NO₂) ₃ (s) → 7 C (s) + 7 CO (g) + 3 N₂ (g) + 5 H₂O (g)

    We convert the mass to moles (mass / molar mass)

    68.2 g. 1 mol / 227.13 g = 0.300 moles

    Ratio is 2:3. 2 moles of TNT can produce 3 moles of N₂

    Then, 0.300 moles will produce (0.300. 3) / 2 = 0.450 moles

    We replace dа ta:

    1 atm. V = 0.450 mol. 0.082 L. atm/mol. K. 273K

    V = (0.450 mol. 0.082 L. atm/mol. K. 273K) / 1 atm

    V = 10.07 L
