What is the major constituent of dynamite?

The major constituent of dynamite is nitroglycerin, which is an explosive compound. Nitroglycerin is typically mixed with an absorbent material like sawdust or clay to create a stable and safe-to-handle explosive compound.


Are dynamite TNT and nitroglycerin the same thing?

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.).


Are peanuts one of the ingredients in dynamite?

True Enough- Peanut oil can be processed to produce glycerol, which can be used to make nitroglycerin, one of the constituents of dynamite. However, there are other processes that can be used to make dynamite without using peanuts at all.


What materials are in dynamite?

What did Alfred Nobel make dynamite with?

Dynamite consists of three parts nitroglycerin, one part diatomaceous earth and a small admixture of sodium carbonate. Nitroglycerin was already know as an explosive but it was very unstable, Nobel's contribution was to make nitroglycerin stable by the addition of the other two substances.


Are peanuts in dynamite?

No. Dynamite consists of three main parts: Nitroglycerin, An Absorbent (like sawdust), and Sodium Carbonate. These are combined, formed into small sticks, and then wrapped in paper with a wick added.


Does dynamite sweat?

Dynamite contains nitroglycerin which "sweats" out of the dynamite and forms crystals on the outside when exposed to the outside air. nitroglycerin is very sensitive and shock can set it off thereby igniting the entire load.


What is the material used in dynamite?

It is made out of explosive materials and compounds. Such as potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate which are explosive and used to make bombs. It first have a hard case filled with sawdust or a hard material that absorbs energy. That material is soaked with nitroglycerin which is an explosive chemical. Then a charger or cap covers it attached to a plug or fuse that detonates it. But getting nitroglycerin is sometimes dangerous so people mostly use potassium nitrate of ammonium nitrate for making dynamite.


How much does a ton of sawdust weight?

A ton of sawdust typically weighs between 4000 to 6000 pounds, depending on the moisture content of the sawdust.
