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.


Is there different grades of tnt?

TNT comes in many different grades, A and B the most common. Grading of TNT depends on chemical composition and color.


Which is more explosive TNT or Liquid oxygen?

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.


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

trinitro toluene or TNT


What is the Symbol of five megatons?

The symbol of five megatons typically represents a measure of explosive yield, often used to describe the power of nuclear weapons. One megaton is equivalent to the explosive energy released by one million tons of TNT. Therefore, five megatons would denote an explosive capability five times that of a one-megaton bomb, indicating a significant potential for destruction. This term is often used in military contexts and discussions about nuclear arsenals.

What is the strength of 1MT nuclear bomb?

A 1 megaton nuclear bomb can release energy equivalent to 1 million tons of TNT. It has the potential to cause widespread destruction over a large area, with devastating effects on buildings, infrastructure, and human lives. The explosion creates a fireball, shockwave, and radioactive fallout that can lead to long-lasting environmental and health consequences.

What does a megaton equal in the amount of TNT?

A megaton is equivalent to one million tons of TNT. Specifically, it is defined as the amount of energy released by the detonation of one million tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT), which is approximately 4.184 trillion joules. This measurement is often used to quantify the explosive yield of nuclear weapons.


How much kilotons are in tnt?

One kiloton is equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT. Therefore, when discussing explosive yields, 1 kiloton is the energy release associated with the detonation of 1,000 tons of TNT. This unit is commonly used to describe the explosive power of nuclear weapons and large conventional explosives.


How much power is in a megaton bomb?

A 1 Megaton (million ton) nuclear warhead has the destructive power of 1 million tons of TNT.The measurement comes from the use of TNT's explosive power in quantity. The Trinity test site at Alamogordo, New Mexico, prior to the first nuclear test, was calibrated using TNT prior to the main test.
