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.).

Which is the most available exposive agent dynamite Nitroglycerin or TNT?

TNT (trinitrotoluene) is generally more readily available as an explosive agent compared to nitroglycerin. TNT is more stable and less sensitive to shock and friction, making it safer to handle and transport than nitroglycerin.


Is dynamite the most available explosive agent?

No, dynamite is not the most available explosive agent. Other commonly used explosive agents include TNT, nitroglycerin, and C-4. The availability of these explosive agents may vary depending on regulations and restrictions in different regions.


Why must dynamite be detonated before it will explode?

It's destructive the same way any other explosive is destructive. A chemical reaction triggers the explosive material, resulting in it exploding, violently destroying anything or anyone who happens to be nearby. What separates dynamite from other explosives is how sensitive dynamite is. Less sensitive explosives like TNT will only explode if it is triggered by a remote button or trigger, whereas dynamite can easily explode if you mishandle it. This is why most militaries have abandoned dynamite in favor of TNT.


Can dynamite burn without exploding?

Dynamite can burn slowly without exploding if it is ignited with a low-intensity flame. However, this is not typically how dynamite is designed to function, as it is intended to explode with a rapid release of energy.


What are Dynamites uses?

Dynamite is an explosive used for blasting and demolition.As invented by chemist Alfred Nobel in 1866, dynamite is the unstable compound nitroglycerin that is mixed with an inert filler to make it safer to transport and handle. Originally the filler was diatomite or sawdust, but various compounds are used, including nitrocellulose (generally anything that will soak up liquid).The term "military dynamite" refers to a different compound (a combination of RDX, TNT, cornstarch and motor oil) that is much more stable than true dynamite.

How much is 154 pounds of TNT converted into pounds of dynamite?

That would be about 61.6 lbs of 40% nitroglycerin equivalent dynamite. Dynamite has approximately 60% greater energy density than TNT.

Are dynamite and TNT the same thing?

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.


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)--

How was dynamite made?

Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel (of the eponymous Nobel Prizes) in 1867.Early dynamite was made by mixing the explosive liquid nitroglycerin into an absorbent compound, such as diatomaceous earth. It was then wrapped in paper to make sticks, which were detonated by a blasting cap inserted into astick or bundle.A less dangerous alternative was to use ammonium nitrate instead of the unstable nitroglycerin. So called ammonium dynamitewas nearly as powerful.Modern dynamite is mostly a mix of RDX, TNT, and oil and is called military dynamite. This mixture is designed to provide the explosive power without the safety risks of actual dynamite.
