The constituents of TNT (2-methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene) are not nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and toluene, as these chemicals are used in its synthesis rather than being its components. TNT is primarily composed of trinitrotoluene, which is derived from toluene through nitration processes involving nitric and sulfuric acids. Understanding the explosive nature of TNT involves studying its chemical structure and the energy released during detonation.

agnibho said:Homework Statement
What are the constituents of TNT? How much explosive is it?
2. The attempt at a solution
Nitric acid, Sulphuric acid and toluin are the constituents of TNT.
I couldn't answer the next question. I would like to know more about its explosive nature.
