Decomposition of TNT
2C7H5N3O6 → 3N2 + 5H2O + 7CO + 7C
概述
TNT (trinitrotoluene) decomposes explosively when detonated, producing nitrogen, water, carbon monoxide, and solid carbon (soot). TNT is relatively stable and requires a detonator to initiate. Its explosive yield (about 4.2 MJ/kg) is used as the standard reference for measuring explosion energy.
