Explosions using chemicals are accompanied by the release of hot gases, often seen by a shock wave traveling at speeds reaching 10300 m/s. Detonation of trinitrotoluene (TNT, C7H5N3O6) causes it to decompose and form the following gases: N2, H2, CO, and C. Write a balanced equation for the detonation of TNT.
