What useful for nitroglycerin?
Nitroglycerin is used to speed up the heart of cardiac patients in cardiac emergencies.
How much does one cubic yard of sawdust weight?
If from dried wood, approximately 550 to 600lbs. If from undried hardwoods, approximately 750 to 800 lbs.
Is sawdust an element?
No. Sawdust is a mixture.
How Sawdust can be used in filtration for waste water treatment?
Filtering the waste water through sawdust will remove large pieces of solid matter (such as grit, paper etc).
Is sawdust gas?
Sawdust is solid. A gas is colorless that's why you cannot see it. If you can see sawdust it is not gas.
What materials are in dynamite?
Original, it was nitroglycerin packed in sawdust. This was because it was to unstable. This made it safer to use. Now, potassium nitrate of ammonium nitrate are used more commonly, because they are even more stable.
Alfred Nobel discovered what element?
he discovered 'dynamite', the correct mixture of nitroglycerin and sawdust, and thus, a safe way to transport a very volatile substance
Was sawdust used in any Revolutionary war recipes?
No, sawdust was not used in any recipes.
How was nitroglycerin used to build the railroad?
nitroglycerin was used to make parallel lines to build the railroad
What useful for nitroglycerin?

Are peanuts in dynamite?
No. Dynamite consists of three main parts: Nitroglycerin, An Absorbent (like sawdust), and Sodium Carbonate. These are combined, formed into small sticks, and then wrapped in paper with a wick added.
Is nitroglycerin poisonous?
Too much of anything--even water--can be poisonous. People have died from drinking too much, its called water intoxication. Nitroglycerin, used in VERY small amount, can be a medicine used to dilate blood vessels. Like with any medicine, if one were to consume too much, it will hurt, or possibly kill them.
What is the material used in dynamite?
It is made out of explosive materials and compounds. Such as potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate which are explosive and used to make bombs. It first have a hard case filled with sawdust or a hard material that absorbs energy. That material is soaked with nitroglycerin which is an explosive chemical. Then a charger or cap covers it attached to a plug or fuse that detonates it. But getting nitroglycerin is sometimes dangerous so people mostly use potassium nitrate of ammonium nitrate for making dynamite.
What type of black powder is used in Dynamite?
Dynamite doesn't use gunpowder. There were a few different compositions. Some used nitroglycerin with an absorbent material (such as kieselguhr or sawdust), and some compositions used ammonium nitrate. In both cases, they were extremely unstable and dangerous to manufacture, which is why dynamite has more of less been phased out in favour of other alternatives.
A commonly used nitrate for chest pain is?
nitroglycerin
Why is dynamite important in history?
Dynamite is important because it was the first "safer" explosive. Dynamite is nitroglycerin that's been mixed with an absorbent like sawdust or cat litter then packed in tubes. Nitroglycerin is very shock sensitive--if you bump it hard enough, which isn't very hard, it will explode. A lot of people died transporting nitroglycerin. Dynamite, because it's relatively insensitive to shock, can be safely moved from the manufacturing plant to the jobsite.
What explosives were used in mining?
TNT or dynamite which contain nitroglycerin
