The complete balanced chemical equation is as follows:

The detonation reaction of Nitroglycerin:
4 C3H5N3O9 → 12 CO2 + 6 N2 + O2 + 10 H2O

Based on this:

2.00 mL × 1.592 g/mL = 3.184 g
3.184 g ÷ 227.1 g/mol = 0.0140 mol nitroglycerin
4 moles decomposes into 12 + 6 + 1 + 10 = 29 moles of gases
Therefore, 0.0140 mol × (29/4) = 0.1017 moles of gases (approximately 0.102 mol)

Response:

In the forward direction

Explanation:

The reaction quotient for an equilibrium reaction reflects the relative quantities of the products and reactants available at a specific point during the reaction period. When Q < Kc, the reaction advances forward. If Q > Kc, it goes in reverse. When Q = Kc, the system is in equilibrium. The ratio of concentrations of products to reactants is calculated, with each raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients. Concentration of solids and liquids remains constant and hence isn't included in the expression. For this reaction:

The expression is:

Given,

[Cl⁻] = 0.50 mol/L; [ClO₃⁻] = 0.32 mol/L; [ClO⁻] = 0.24 mol/L

Thus, $3CIO^{-}_{(aq)}\rightleftharpoons CIO_3^{-}_{(aq)}+2Cl^{-}$
