Very easy to mix them up, but they are not the same thing. Dynamite is a type of explosive device that uses a material (something absorbent like sawdust) to absorb nitroglycerin, which is a liquid. Exact ways of making dynamite can vary, but the idea is that it's an explosive-packed device. The nitroglycerin is known to leak out of older dynamite sticks, making them very dangerous and volatile.
TNT is entirely different because instead of just being a kind of explosive device, it's a molecule. It's short for trinitrotoluene, with the chemical formula C6H2(NO2)3CH3.
It's not actually stronger than gunpowder or dynamite, but it's useful for having a higher activation energy and being usable in conditions (like moisture) that other explosives are unreliable in.
What else can I help you with?
Are dynamite TNT and nitroglycerin the same thing?
TNT is trinitrotoluene. Dynamite is a mixture of nitroglycerin and an absorbent material of some kind such as diatomaceous earth or sawdust. Dynamite is safer to work with than either TNT or pure nitroglycerin as it's not nearly as sensitive to physical shocks (dropping, shaking, etc.).
Is dynamite and tnt the same?
They could not be more different. Dynamite is sawdust or clay, soaked in liquid nitroglycerine, formed into a cylinder, and wrapped in paper. TNT is the abbreviation of trinitrotoluene, a flakey, yellow substance, often formed into a stick and used similarly to dynamite. TNT can also be used in chemistry to create charge transfer salts.
Will a stick of dynamite explode if struck by a rifle bullet?
Yes, as a rife bullet is driven by a spark, and once it hits the TNT, it will create another spark, and another bigger BOOM! --(Except TNT is NOT the same as Dynamite)--
