Answer

The required weight of TNT is $~~1.18\times 10^8~N$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required number of moles: $\frac{1.80\times 10^{14}~J}{3.40\times 10^6~J/mol} = 5.294\times 10^7~mol$ We can find the required mass: $m = (5.294\times 10^7~mol)(0.227~kg/mol) = 1.202\times 10^7~kg$ We can find the weight: $weight = mg = (1.202\times 10^7~kg)(9.8~m/s^2) = 1.18\times 10^8~N$ The required weight of TNT is $~~1.18\times 10^8~N$
