What would happen if an explosion of 100 billion gigatons of TNT occurred on Earth?

A very big explosion.


Is a volcanic explosion a chemical reaction?

Explosions may or may not represent a chemical change. A stick of TNT going off is a chemical explosion. A compressed gas cylinder with a failing weld that blows up while being filled is a mechanical explosion. In the case of a volcano, the cause of the explosion is mechanical. We take a page from physics to answer this question. It is a buildup of pressure caused by heating of the magma (which may include gases and water) that causes the violent release of energy that we observe.


Which is more explosive TNT or Liquid oxygen?

liquid oxygen is in effect more explosive than tnt, but by means they are different. liquid oxygen is not explosive at all without the other chemicals, where all tnt needs is heat, making tnt easier to use. also, one must the fact that tnt is more practical in that it is easier to come by. so, if you put the same effort into aquiring them both, you would end up with enough tnt to make a larger explosion than the one made by the amount of liquid oxygen you would aquire.


Is there a material that dynamite or TNT cannot destroy?

Dynamite and TNT destroy things via a shock wave; there is nothing intrinsic about TNT or Dynamite that causes something to be destroyed (i.e. the explosion could just as easily have been produced by any other explosive material).All (solid or semi-solid) materials have a fracturing point, and can thus be "destroyed" by an explosive. The key is how strong the shock wave is when it hits the material, and of course the composition of the material in question.In short, there is no answer to your question, other than, YES, TNT can theoretically defeat any material, given the proper amounts and configuration of TNT, and for certain configurations of the material.


What is a dynamite explosion that converts chemical energy?

2 C7H5N3O6 → 3 N2 + 5 H2O + 7 CO + 7 C2 C7H5N3O6 → 3 N2 + 5 H2 + 12 CO + 2 C For dynamite the chemical reaction is exothermic. The compound is C3H5N3O9 (Nitroglycerin) which is mixed with saw dust and sodium bicarbonate. When it explodes the unstable bonds break and form more stable ones such as CO, N3, H2. This process is what creates the explosion. Now, if you meant TNT the compound reaction is at the top of the answer.
