what is TNT?

Answer 1

A yellow crystalline compound, CH3C6H2(NO2)3, used mainly as a high explosive.

Answer 2

TNT is short for TriNitroToluene which by the way is a very good for explosions. It turns out that TNT molecules are actually very large with a rather weak structure which means that even just a little bit of jumbling/shaking the molecules can break apart. The good part is that the process of TNT molecules breaking apart is exothermic, meaning it releases energy, and it releases a lot of energy which makes a a very loud boom. That is why great care is taken when transporting TNT because if you are carrying a truck full of TNT and you are going on a bumpy road, you might not make it back alive.

TNT has obviously been immortalized by Warner Brother's Looney Toons, in particular when Wile E. Coyote has tried soooooo hard to get the Road Runner.

Answer 3

TNT, contrary to earlier answers, is not dynamite. Dynamite is actually Nitro Glycerine, stabilised by soaking it into a type of clay. TNT is Tri Nitro Toluene, a similar high explosive.
Unlike Nitro Glycerine, TNT will not explode simply by being shaken, it has to be detonated using a small amount of a different explosive. This stability makes it suitable for use as a filling for artillery shells and bombs.

Answer 4

a pale yellow, solid organic nitrogen compound used chiefly as an explosive, prepared by stepwise nitration of toluene. Because TNT melts at 82° C (178° F) and does not explode below 240° C (464° F), it can be melted in steam-heated vessels and poured into casings. It is relatively insensitive to shock and cannot be exploded without a detonator. For these reasons it is the most favoured chemical explosive, extensively used in munitions and for demolitions.

Answer 5

Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is an explosive. Its empirical formula is C7H5N3O6.

TNT was first made in 1863 by a German chemist Joseph Wilbrand, but its potential was not seen for several years, mainly because it was so hard to detonate and because it was less powerful than other explosives. Among its advantages, however, is its ability to be safely melted using steam or hot water, and so can be poured molten into shell cases.

Answer 6

Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is an explosive. TNT was first synthesised by Joseph Wilbrand in the year 1863, and the first large-scale production began in Germany in 1891.

The explosive yield of TNT is considered the standard measure of strength of bombs and other explosives

Answer 7

TriNitroToluene, one of the originally most commonly used explosives. Explosive power today is still measured in equivalent explosive power of a mass of TNT. Ie. atomic bombs in megatons of a traditional TNT bomb.

Answer 9

Tnt It's dynamite (Acdc song)
Yep its a type of dynamite

Answer 10

i work for a company called TNT (tyne north training) could be that

Answer 11

Its a very explosive compound which made the Nobel (as in Nobel prize) family fortune.
