    What does TNT stand for in regards to dynamite?

    Question #113479. Asked by George95. (Mar 18 10 4:49 PM)


    Zbeckabee

    		Trinitrotoluene (pronounced /traɪˌnaɪtrɵˈtɒljʊ.iːn/; abbreviated TNT), or more specifically, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, is a chemical compound with the formula C6H2(NO2)3CH3. This yellow-coloured solid is sometimes used as a reagent in chemical synthesis, but it is best known as a useful explosive material with convenient handling properties. The explosive yield of TNT is considered to be the standard measure of strength of bombs and other explosives. In chemistry, TNT is used to generate charge transfer salts.
