What is the term used to describe the amount of energy released in an earthquake?
The energy is known in Joules and it can be compared to the explosive energy of TNT.
What stores have ammonium nitrate fertilizer 33 0 0?
Because ammonium nitrate is known as the chemical most likely to be misused as an explosive, every state with an agriculture industry (all of them) requires every seller to be licensed, and every buyer to present picture ID. Further, every state's ammonium nitrate law allows sellers to refuse to sell this product for any reason without liability to themselves. Essentially, if you're not a farmer who shops at that store all the time, you're not getting any Ammonium Nitrate.The Department of Homeland Security also intends, if they haven't done it already, to implement a requirement that ammonium nitrate purchasers be licensed, and that sellers have a federal license for it.-That is not an answer to what he asked... He asked who sells it, not "What are the legal safeguards in place to keep terrorists from obtaining AN?"So in response to his question:If you intend to use it for agricultural purposes(where high purity is not an issue), try a feed store or farm supply co-op... Try calling them first- Honestly, your question is too vague- stores where? Where do you live anyway? It may be out of season in your area... Other than farm stores you can get it from instant cold packs (technical grade) or from chemical supply houses if you need very pure reagent or ACS grades, however that is a very expensive option...If you are intending to use it as an explosive, you can get it from an explosives/blasting supply company, but make sure you first acquire a high explosives user permit from ATF; and do your detonations in a safe, uninhabited area- nearby houses or buildings, for example, can have their windows blown out from the pressure waves from a large enough AN/ANFO explosion (very large explosions (multi-hundred pound quantities,) can even reflect their overpressure off of cloud cover). Also make sure you read up on safety procedures regarding the subject, or we will be reading about another idiot who killed himself because he dropped a cigarette on a case of blasting caps which he left sitting on top of his boosters and a 50lb bag of ANFO...AnswerI know he asked what stores sell it, but this is the thing: this is a product where anyone who's got a legitimate use for it already knows where to get it. If you're a farmer you know it's a fertilizer and fertilizer comes from Southern States or Cenex. If you're a coal miner you know to call the Gulf Explosives guy or Atlas Powder and they'll bring you all you want. So! This guy is either trying to make a great big bang in the middle of the field because he likes loud noise, or he's going to blow something up.Besides, ANFO is a horrible explosive if you're not a miner. It doesn't have much brisance compared to something like TNT or gel explosive so you have to use a lot of it, and you have to cap it with dynamite to get it to go off in the first place. Coal miners like it because it's cheaper than dirt and all they need do to get enough explosive power to do the work they need to do is to just drill bigger holes.
How much TNT does it take to equal the magnitude of a 7.0 earthquake?
it takes about 180 tons of TNT
Disodium ammonium phosphate?
ammonium is used for some stuff. it is usually found in nitrogen and is related to nitrites and nitrates. it derives from ammonia - a critical part in the nitrogen cycle. All in all it is used to decompose poo and stuff and turn it into nutrients for plants and animals to eat then poo out and over and over again. one of the processes is nitrification, so you might want to look that up.
Is nitrogen a non combustible gas?
No. In fact, nitrogen is commonly used to provide an inert atmosphere in which to work with highly reactive compounds.Some nitrogen compounds are, however, highly explosive. One well-known example is trinitrotoluene, better known by the abbreviation TNT.
What is an ammonal?
An ammonal is an explosive made up of ammonium nitrate, TNT, and aluminium powder.
What kind of bomb was amatol bomb?
Amatol is a conventional chemical explosive. It is a mixture of TNT and ammonium nitrate.
What kind of explosive was greater and faster than ammonium nitrate?
Ammonium nitrate is one of the slowest explosives in existence. Dynamites, PETN, TNT, HMX and RDX are more powerful (pound for pound) and have a higher rate of detonation.
What type of explosive agent is the most important raw material in the manufacturing of industrial explosives?
At one time it was nitroglycerin- now it is probably ammonium nitrate, but RDX, HMX and TNT are also widely used.
What conventional explosives were used in the 32 lenses of the MK-III Fatman atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki?
The lenses combine a low velocity explosive and a high velocity explosive. The Low VoD was Baratol (aka Barytol) consisting of TNT and Barium Nitrate. The High VOD was Composition B, a mix of RDX and TNT.
What explosive is used in 36H grenade?
If you are referring to the British "Mills Bomb" grenade, the filler was Baratol- a mix of TNT and Barium Nitrate. Baratol was also used as ONE of the explosives in the early implosion style nuclear weapons.
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.
What is TNT used for?
TNT is short for Trinitrotoluene it is a high explosive.
Is TNT explosive?
yes
A strong explosive is?
TNT
Which is strong explosive amongTNT or gun powder or liquid oxygen or gun cotten?
TNT. Liquid Oxygen is not an explosive.TNT
Is 1kg of Caesium explosive enough to be on par with TNT?
Yes,one kilogram of Caesium explosive is enough to be on par with TNT.
