The country you are referring to is Chile. Saltpetre, also known as sodium nitrate, was a significant export for Chile until the Haber process allowed for the production of synthetic nitrate fertilizers, shifting the demand away from natural saltpetre for explosives.
limestone+fertilizer
Whale parts are not used to make explosives.
Saltpetre+sulphurSaltpeter + sulfer = Gun powder
They are made by both government and civilian companies that make them for the military. The exact arrangement varies from one country to another.
its used to make explosives ;)
That depends on where you are and what kind of explosives you make. The ATF redefined the word 'explosives" last year to include several products that were not previously considered explosives. In many places you can make your own black powder, rocket propellants and fuse. Some more powerful "explosives" can be made in very small quantities for use in fireworks, but there are restrictions on the storage of explosives. For more detailed and up to date rules, go to atf.gov.
gdp includes consumption, investment ,govt spending and net exports.......the last term i,e., net exports is nothing but (exports-imports) .so if imports are far higher than exports then it can make the term gdp less than the term exports .....countries having heavy import based economy will have this anamoly.....especially small countries like singapore luxembourg have this feature....
Phosphate itself is not used to make explosives, but it can be a component in the manufacturing of certain types of explosives, like ammonium phosphate-based fertilizers. These fertilizers can be potentially misused to create explosives, but the process would involve other chemical compounds and steps beyond just phosphate.
Saltpeter man would collect human urine to make saltpeter that could manufacture gunpowder.
No, explosives typically do not contain sulfuric acid. Explosives are usually composed of chemicals that rapidly release energy when ignited or detonated, such as nitroglycerin or TNT. Sulfuric acid is a strong acid that is not commonly found in explosives.
Maple Syrup. There's lots of Maple Trees in Canada so they make lots of Maple Syrup every year. I'm not so sure about what country it exports Maple Syrup to, though. I think to the United States, though. At least that's what most websites say.
