Question:
A doughnut contains roughly 350 C (1.5 × 106 J) of potential energy locked in chemical bonds. Find the ratio of the potential energy in the doughnut to that in an equivalent volume of TNT (trinitrotoluene), which has a density of 1.65 g/cm3 and releases 4.7 × 106 J per kg of explosive. Aren’t you glad the doughnut does not release all its potential energy at once?
