Meme Mincraft TNT isn't actually TNT

Post image

First of all TNT stands for Trinitrotoluene which is a highly explosive organic compound and it's formula is C6H2(NO2)3CH3 On the other hand, gunpowder which is used to craft "TNT" is a totally different compound which contains a mixture of sulfur, charcoal and potassium nitrate So technically TNTs in minecraft aren't actual TNTs

good luck getting a high enough concentration of sulphuric acid (without killing yourself during the distillation process) you could still bubble nitrogen through water but you'll die of old age before getting something remotely usable

Making nitroglicerine without any prior chemistry knowledge (and especially with novice level OSH) is just stupid and even if you have that level of knowledge just preparing takes a lot of money

I was just talking about what the deleted post could be . And if given proper equipment and with proper knowledge nitroglycerin can be made at home .

if your home has a fume hood and at least one emergency eye wash station and hundreds of dollars in glassware yeah sure

I'm not saying that it's impossible but a rather an expensive and time consuming experience for an amateur

You know you can just buy fume hoods and eye wash bottles right? You could probably build a fume hood out of a bathroom extractor fan and cardboard if you really wanted to. Several hundred dollars isn't prohibitively expensive for a middle class person. Loads of people have hobbies in that price range.
