Decomposition of Nitroglycerin

4C3H5N3O9 → 12CO2 + 10H2O + 6N2 + O2

개요

Nitroglycerin decomposes explosively, producing a large volume of hot gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen, and oxygen) almost instantaneously. The detonation velocity exceeds 7700 m/s. Alfred Nobel's invention of dynamite (nitroglycerin absorbed in diatomaceous earth) made it safer to handle.
