What is the difference between TNT and Dynamite?

Answer 1

probably no difference, tnt is a kind of dynamite, idk justlisten to the ac/dc song, tnt, haha i think it should explain most of it in a fun way.

Answer 2

Dynamite, a high explosive, is nitroglycerine mixed with an adsorbent (Alfred Nobel originally used diatomaceous earth, but sawdust and other materials have also been used), with small amounts of an antacid agent such as sodium carbonate added. It is much more shock-stable than the nitroglycerine it is made from, although it degrades easily in the presence of moisture and does not store well. TNT is a different chemical, CH3C6H2(NO2)3, also a high explosive, that is extremely shock-stable, and doesn't react with moisture or metals, which makes it much easier and safer to store than dynamite or nitroglycerine, and also makes it possible to use it to fill metal artillery shells. The two have different blasting yields. Blast yields for explosives are often given in terms of the equivalent mass of TNT, which has an energy yield of 4.185 MJ/kg. For example, atomic bomb yields are described in kilotons or megatons, with the hundreds or thousands of tons in question being tons of TNT.

Answer 3

TNT and Dynamite are NOT the same thing. Dynamite is a mixture based on nitroglycerine and TNT (trinitrotoluene) is a chemical compound.

Answer 4

Dynamite and TNT are the same. Dynamite is the common name and TNT reffers to the chemical name which is Trinitrotoluene.

Answer 5

TNT = trinitrotoluene, an explosive.

Dynamite = nitroglycerine sorbed onto keiselguhr and formed into sticks to make it less sensitive to shock/vibration and easier to handle.

They are both explosives, but use different energetic compounds to make their "bang".
