2. Nitroglycerin, C3H5(NO3)3(), an explosive that is used in s dynamite, can be made from the reaction of glycerol, CzHz(OH)3(1), and nitric acid. Water is the only other product formed. In one experiment, a chemist reacted 10.4 g of glycerol and 19.2 g of nitric acid, to produce 22.6 g of nitroglycerin. (a) Write a balanced equation for the above reaction. (b) What is the limiting reagent in the reaction? (c) What is the theoretical yield of nitroglycerin? (d) What is the percentage yield of nitroglycerin? a
