There are 9 atoms of oxygen in one molecule of trinitrotoluene.
U sure?
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. The chemical formula for trinitrotoluene (TNT) is C6H2(NO2)3CH3. In this case, there are 3 atoms of oxygen in each nitro group, and there are 3 nitro groups in the formula. Therefore, there are a total of 9 oxygen atoms in one molecule of trinitrotoluene.
Are you SURE though?
Apologies for the previous incorrect response.
In the correct chemical formula for trinitrotoluene (TNT), which is C7H5N3O6, there are a total of 6 atoms of oxygen in one molecule of TNT.
Which one?
I apologize for the previous incorrect responses.
The correct chemical formula for trinitrotoluene (TNT) is C7H5N3O6. In this formula, there are a total of 6 atoms of oxygen in one molecule of trinitrotoluene.
