Text Book Problem 4D.9
For this textbook questions, I am confused why the sign for this is positive as shown in the solutions. If this is talking about the enthalpy change per liter for the reaction wouldn't that mean that for every liter of TNT, there would be 2.39 x 10^-4 kJ of heat released for the reaction shown?

I also have a question about this problem- how do you know that 1/4 of the energy is released when TNT is consumed? I read this in the solutions but I am not sure how to determine how much/what proportion of the energy is released by the consumption of TNT.

Hello! I think, but I am not sure, it is 1/4 because we are using enthalpies of formation, which is the formation for a single mole of a certain substance and since in the equation there is a four out in front of TNT, I think you would divide by four to get per mole of TNT. I hope this helps!
