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.

1 million tonnes of tnt has the explosive power of?

1 million tonnes of TNT has the explosive power equivalent to 1 trillion grams of TNT. This is because 1 tonne is equal to 1 million grams.


A strong explosive is?

TNT (trinitrotoluene) is a strong explosive commonly used in military applications and mining operations due to its high explosive power and stability. It generates a large amount of energy when detonated, making it effective for various demolition and construction purposes.


What is the name of an explosive which is obtained by the nitration of an organic compound?

trinitro toluene or TNT


The percent of oxygen by mass in 0.370 kg trinitrotoluene?

To find the percent of oxygen by mass in trinitrotoluene (TNT), you need to know the molecular formula of TNT. TNT contains 30.4% oxygen by mass, so in 0.370 kg of TNT, the mass of oxygen would be 0.370 kg * 0.304 = 0.11248 kg. To convert this to a percentage, divide the mass of oxygen by the total mass of TNT (0.370 kg) and multiply by 100 to get 30.4%.


Is there a material that dynamite or TNT cannot destroy?

Dynamite and TNT destroy things via a shock wave; there is nothing intrinsic about TNT or Dynamite that causes something to be destroyed (i.e. the explosion could just as easily have been produced by any other explosive material).All (solid or semi-solid) materials have a fracturing point, and can thus be "destroyed" by an explosive. The key is how strong the shock wave is when it hits the material, and of course the composition of the material in question.In short, there is no answer to your question, other than, YES, TNT can theoretically defeat any material, given the proper amounts and configuration of TNT, and for certain configurations of the material.
