Nitroglycerine, C3H5N3O9, explodes with tremendous force due to the numerous gaseous products. The equation for the explosion of nitroglycerine is: 4C3H5N3O9 (l) --> 12CO2 (g) + O2 (g) + 6N2 (g) + 10H2O (g)

Volume of the rigid steel container: 1.00 L

Molar mass of nitroglycerine: 227g/mol

Temperature: 300k

Amount of nitroglycerine tested: 227g

Value for ideal gas constant, R: .0821 L*atm/mol*K

What is the total pressure produced in this explosion?

I got 179 however the teacher said it was 25. What is correct?
