Answer

$m = 1.8\times 10^7~kg$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that $2.7\times 10^{14}~J$ of energy was released. We can find the required moles of TNT: $\frac{2.7\times 10^{14}~J}{3.4\times 10^6~J} = 7.94\times 10^7~mol$ We can find the required mass of TNT: $m = (7.94\times 10^7~mol)(0.227~kg/mol) = 1.8\times 10^7~kg$
