I was a bit confused as to what the balanced equations were for the decomposition of TNT, nitroglycerine, RDX, and triacetone triperoxide.
For TNT would it be something like 2C7H5(NO2)3 (s)-------> 7C(s) + 7CO(g) + 3N2(g) + 5H2O(l)?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It's my understanding these are very hard to determine, given the high temperatures allowing all kinds of weird reactions to take place, but maybe someone like 408 will have a good answer
