Tnt carries lots of gun powder which is lit off bye a rope covered in solid gas with gun powder. The rope then ignites the explosive which gives off a blast of heat and thermal energy and also a blast of light which can destroy anything in its way.
Well, isn't that an interesting question! A gallon of gasoline has about 33.4 kilowatt-hours of energy, which is roughly equivalent to 1.3 kilograms of TNT. It's important to remember that this is just a way to compare the energy content of different materials, not their explosive power.
One of two things: megatons and metric tons. Megaton- A TNT equivalent for rating the power of an explosive device. Metric ton- a mass unit equal to 1,000 kg.
It may take a thousand of tons on TNT to pack a nuclear bomb. But to destroy the earth, it may take billions to trillions tons of TNT plus a nuclear igniter to blow the earth to bits of dust.
Many explosive devices consist of a primary and a secondary explosive. The primary consists of a small amount of an explosive that is very easily set off. The primary creates a small explosion that sets off the secondary explosive, which consists of a material that is much harder to set off; usually a primary explosive is the only way. The secondary explosive provides most of the energy of the device, with the primary simply being a trigger. The use of primary and secondary explosives allows for explosive devices that are less likely to go off accidentally.
A mixture of substances that may explode under the right circumstances. Powdered flour dispersed thru air will explode if a spark is present. Gunpowder is an explosive mixture, not a compound. Nitroglycerine is NOT an explosive mixture. It is an explosive compound.
TNT is short for Trinitrotoluene it is a high explosive.
yes
TNT. Liquid Oxygen is not an explosive.TNT
Yes,one kilogram of Caesium explosive is enough to be on par with TNT.

The explosive TNT is Trinitrotoluene The postal distribution company TNT was originally known as Thomas Nationwide Transport.
liquid oxygen is in effect more explosive than tnt, but by means they are different. liquid oxygen is not explosive at all without the other chemicals, where all tnt needs is heat, making tnt easier to use. also, one must the fact that tnt is more practical in that it is easier to come by. so, if you put the same effort into aquiring them both, you would end up with enough tnt to make a larger explosion than the one made by the amount of liquid oxygen you would aquire.
