4. Nitroglycerin (C3H5N309) is an oily liquid that detonates when heated to 218°C. Hence, the main use of C3H5N3O9 by tonnage is in explosives, such as dynamite and propellants. Its decomposition is shown as: 4 C3H5N3O9 →→→ 6N₂ + 12CO₂ + 10H₂O + O₂ -- How many grams of O₂ will be liberated if 36.5 g of C3H5N3O9 are heated?
