How does dynamite relate to chemistry?

Answer 1

Dynamite is chemically related in that it is composed of the base component Nitro glycerin, which is then mixed with a hardening agent to be able to form it into sticks and it requires the aid of a gunpowder blasting cap, which is placed on the end of the stick and acts as the igniter in setting off the resulting blast.

Similar to a newer version known as C4. But we will not go into that.

Good question,

Answer 2

Dynamite is a compound made of other compounds that are composed of elements.

Dynamite is an explosive based on the explosive potential of nitroglycerin using diatomaceous earth (Kieselguhr) as an adsorbent. It was invented by Swedish chemist and engineer Alfred Nobel in 1866 in Krümmel (Hamburg, Germany) and patented in 1867. It is usually sold in the form of a stick roughly eight inches (20 cm) long and one inch (2.5 cm) in diameter but other sizes also exist. Dynamite is considered a "high explosive", which means it detonates rather than deflagrates.

Nitroglycerin, also known as nitroglycerine, trinitroglycerin, and glyceryl trinitrate, is a chemical compound. It is a heavy, colorless, addictive, oily, explosive liquid obtained by nitrating glycerol. It is used in the manufacture of explosives, specifically dynamite, and as such is employed in the construction and demolition industries. It is also used medically as a vasodilator to treat heart conditions. Formula is C3H5N3O9

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

Answer 3

n2 and n3 want to convert back to n1 .basis for most high explosives.

Answer 4

Because it contains chemicals. TNT. Trinitrotoluene

Answer 5

how do u think it blows up? i kno it has some chemicals.... i forgot the names
