Solution

Sure, here is the balanced equation:

C3H5(NO3)3 --> 3CO2 + 1.5N2 + 2.5H2O + 0.5O2

However, it's not common to have fractional coefficients in a balanced chemical equation. To get rid of the fractions, we can multiply every coefficient by 2:

2C3H5(NO3)3 --> 6CO2 + 3N2 + 5H2O + O2

So, the balanced equation with whole number coefficients is:

2C3H5(NO3)3 --> 6CO2 + 3N2 + 5H2O + O2
