Trinitrotoluene

nuclear fission, nuclear fusion or a combination of the two processes. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. This bomb releases the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of Explosive Trinitrotoluene (TNT). Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous weapons to mankind.One hit can destroy an entire country. The United States was the first country to develop a nuclear weapon called the “Manhattan Project” in August of 1942. On July 16,…

Figure 3. Possible reaction mechanism for the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate. Based on the findings from all of the used techniques, the species formed in the beginning are ammonium ion, oxygen and chlorine species. The decomposition products of ammonium ion were hydroxylamine, ammonia and nitrogen dioxide. The perchlorate ion loses one of the oxygen atoms and forms chlorate ion. The ammonia is lost in reaction through formation of hydroxylamine, which is formed in reaction between…
