Perché la dinamite si chiama TNT?
Densità (g/cm3, in c.s.) Il trinitrotoluene (noto anche come tritolo e spesso abbreviato in TNT) è un nitroderivato aromatico ottenuto per nitrazione del toluene.
Che cosa significa Tritola?
– Sostanza cristallina, trinitrotoluene simmetrico, da incolore a giallognola, poco sensibile all’urto ma che esplode violentemente sotto l’azione di detonatori: viene usata come esplosivo da scoppio, spec. per i proiettili, e anche come ingrediente di propellenti solidi per razzi.
Cosa si intende per esplosivo?
esplosivo Ogni sostanza che può decomporsi con grandissima rapidità, in maniera autopropagante, sviluppando una grande quantità di calore e di gas, e quindi generando un’onda di pressione.
Is TNT a component of dynamite?
But TNT (or 2,4,6,-trinitrotoluene, to use its chemical name) is not one of those components. Instead, the active explosive in dynamite is a chemical called nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin was first made in 1847 by Italian chemist Ascanio Sobrero — not by Alfred Nobel.
Is dynamicdynamite the same as TNT?
Dynamite is not the same thing as TNT. You’ve probably heard people say “TNT” and “dynamite” in a conversation as though they were the same thing. But in fact, while TNT and dynamite are both explosives, they are different things.
What is the chemical name of TNT?
As for TNT, it’s also a high explosive, but it ain’t dynamite. TNT is a yellowish compound with the chemical name trinitrotoluene(try-night-row-TALL-you-een), which is somewhat easier to remember than its chemical formula, CH 3C6H2(NO2)3.
Why is it called Dynamite?
By combining the stabilized nitroglycerin paste with a detonator he’d invented earlier, Nobel had his practical explosive. He called it dynamite after the Greek word for power, dynamis. TNT, in contrast to nitroglycerin, is very difficult to detonate.
