it would be a chemical reaction

∙ 13y agoNo, it is a chemical process.
The Nitroglycerin breaks down into water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen.

Dynamite's active ingredient is nitroglycerin (the rest is just to stabilize the nitroglycerin); in the explosion, the nitroglycerin reacts thus; C3H5(NO3)3 → 3CO2 + 2.5H2O + 1.5N2 + 0.25O2 so YES its a chemical reaction.
An atomic bomb uses fission-- the splitting of atoms. It is purely a physical change, at first. Any gases produced in the air surrounding the explosion (which occurs before it touches the ground), along with the intense heat produced, causes chemical changes in the air.
water boils, it make sound. is that a chemical change??? P.S why use wikianswer?
A physical change
An explosion is the sudden release of a volume of compressed gas. The chemicals remain the same, so it is only a physical change.Note that the reaction resulting in an explosion may be a chemical change, but the resulting pressure changes are not.
The explosion of nitroglycerin is a chemical change because new chemical compounds are formed through the rapid breakage and rearrangement of molecular bonds. This results in the release of energy in the form of heat, light, and sound, characteristic of a chemical reaction.
chemical
This is a chemical change.
the physical comes from the chemical explosion
Chemical, an explosion is essentially extremely fast combustion which is a chemical reaction.
Dynamite's active ingredient is nitroglycerin (the rest is just to stabilize the nitroglycerin); in the explosion, the nitroglycerin reacts thus; C3H5(NO3)3 → 3CO2 + 2.5H2O + 1.5N2 + 0.25O2 so YES its a chemical reaction.
It is usually a chemical change.
Explosiveness (not oxploziveness!) is a property, not a change. But it is a chemical property.
No, an explosion is a physical property that results from the release of stored energy. The chemical property of TNT is its ability to undergo rapid decomposition in a highly exothermic reaction, leading to the release of gas and heat that causes the explosion.
An explosion is an example of a chemical change because the arrangement of the atoms has been altered.
A physical change stays the same like tearing paper A chemical change makes the substance something new like fireworks explode (fireworks change to explosion)
