I can help you with the first one:

Pb(NO3)2 + H2SO4---> PbSO4t + 2 HNO3

For the second it depends on what C5H8N4O12 is?
C5H8N4O12 + H2SO4--->

Thanks Xen.

The first is Lead azide (Pb(N3)2 explosive), I need to know if reaction finishes in an explosion, or as heat becomes of reaction.

Pb(N3)2 + H2SO4 --> PbSO4 + 2HNO3

The second is PENT Pentrite (C5H8N4O12 o C(CH2ONO2)4 explosive)

The production is C(CH2OH)4 + 4HNO3 → C(CH2ONO2)4 + 4H2O

I need balance the ecuation and How much heat produced?
C(CH2ONO2)4 + H2SO4 ---> ?????????????????

Please Help Me.

I sorry for my English. I talk spanih
