TNT, I’m Dynamite
TNT explosions are very fast reactions involving the production of enormous quantities of heat and gaseous products. Thermodynamically, explosions are best described
as:
A. High entropy, exothermic reactions with a low activation energy.
B. High entropy, endothermic reactions with a low activation energy.
C. High entropy, exothermic reactions with a high activation energy.
D. Low entropy, exothermic reactions with a low activation energy.
E. Low entropy, endothermic reactions with a high activation energy.
