742.2 L

Explanation:

First we must find the number of moles of nitroglycerine reacted.

Molar mass of nitroglycerine = 227.0865 g/mol

Mass of nitroglycerine involved = 1*10^3 g

Number of moles of nitroglycerine = 1*10^3g/227.0865 g/mol

n = 4.40361 moles

T = 1985°C + 273 = 2258K

P = 1.100atm

R = 0.082atmLmol-1K-1

Using the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 4.40361 * 0.082 * 2258/1.1

V = 742 L
