Which of the following compounds have high heat of formation? (i) b-(2,3,4) trinitrotoluene(ii) a-(2,4,6) trinitrotoluene .(a) (i) b-(2,3,4) trinitrotoluene(b) (ii) a-(2,4,6) trinitrotoluene(c) Both are equal(d) Only (ii) a-(2,4,6) DinitrotolueneThe question was posed to me during an interview for a job.I need to ask this question from Thermodynamics of Nitration in section Nitration of Unit Processes

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) (II) a-(2,4,6) trinitrotoluene

Easiest explanation: a-(2,4,6) trinitrotoluene has the highest heat of FORMATION because it is quite STABLE without any stain within the molecules, and has LOW internal energy.
