plasticizer, curing agent and cross linkers. The commonly used oxidizer is ammonium perchlorate. But its combustion products are environmentally hazardous. Nowadays, ammonium nitrate is gaining great attraction in the field of propellant as a great oxidizer. Ammonium nitrate is an inorganic compound used as fertilizer, oxidizer and also for other applications. AN combined with fuel can be used in gas generators . The ammonium nitrate extracted from demilitarized rocket motors can be used as an oxidizing
and farm machinery. Over the next few days, bags of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, shipped from Nebraska via rail by TCT (Texas City Terminal Railway company) were being loaded onto the ship. By the morning of April 16, 1947, No. 2 hold had 1420 tons of ammonium nitrate while No. 4 had 880 tons. At 8 am that morning, a longshoreman smelled smoke coming out of hold No. 4. He alertly notified his co-workers and they moved several bags of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and found flames between the cargo
were unable to retreat to a safe distance before the explosion. Nearly 200 injuries were also reported to have been treated at local hospitals (Wood, 2013). The explosion was said to be caused by the combination of the fire and large stores of ammonium nitrate fertilizer at the plant. This catastrophic event received immediate coverage from news agencies and journalists across the country. Multiple local, state, and federal Agencies responded to the scene as first responders and post event investigators
!!!What Is Ammonium Nitrate? Ammonium nitrate is a chemical that I first encountered in the chemistry laboratory back in high school. The physical state of ammonium nitrate is typically a white solid, and it soluble in water. The solid can either have a crystalline form or bead form. [{Image src='ammoniumnitratephysicalappearance.png' alt='Ammonium Nitrate: Physical Appearance' caption='Ammonium Nitrate: Physical Appearance'}] The chemical formula of ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3: It has two nitrogen
In the demo experiment, we placed 10 grams of Ammonium dichromate in the form of a solid before starting the experiment. When the experiment begins the Ammonium dichromate is burned up and then produces Chromium (III) oxide as a solid, Nitrogen gas and water in form of a gas. In the experiment, we combined Zinc Chloride and Sodium Sulfide in which both chemicals are aqueous. The result of the combination was Zinc Sulfide a solid and Sodium Chloride an aqueous solution. In the alternate experiment
length. The Grandcamp served in World War II and the Pacific Theater. The Grandcamp was loaded down with two thousand two hundred tons of cargo. Their was another ship docked in the harbor called the High Flyer and it contained nine sixty one tons of ammonium
population of around 2,800 people. During the evening of Wednesday the 17th April of 2013 a massive explosion occurred in the small town. The West Fertilizer Company; which is owned by Adair Grain Inc. which had stockpiles of anhydrous ammonia and ammonium nitrate amongst other agricultural items; was the center and cause of the blast. It is not the first time that an explosion such as this has happened in the state of Texas; in 1947 in Texas city, Texas an explosion that caused nearly 600 deaths
Ammonium Nitrate Ammonium nitrate was a key ingredient in a bomb that killed hundreds of people. It is an odorless crystal salt that can be either white or grey. It is created by a combination of ammonia and nitric acid. (ammonium Nitrate fact sheet). The primary uses for this chemical are fertilizers and cold packs, as well as military explosives (Mathews J, 2014). Not only is it an oxidizer but under enough heat and pressure, it can explode (ammonium Nitrate fact sheet). This explosive property

Add oleic acid to the turpentine oil and mix them. 2. Dilute the ammonia solution in 45ml of previously warmed water. 3. Add the products of the first and second steps and shake it to form emulsion 4. Dissolve the ammonium chloride in water 5. Add the ammonium chloride solution to the emulsion.
very helpful for both injuries and the reducing of swelling and pain. “Inside the plastic container of a cold pack there is a compartment containing solid ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) that is separated form a compartment containing water.” (Timberlake, Karen, 245) When the ice packed is crushed a reaction occurs between the water and the ammonium nitrate. “The temperature drops to about 4 to 5o C to give a cold pack that is ready to use.” (Timberlake, Karen, 245) Cold ice packs stop the blood flow
Parker Bell Mrs. West Chemistry, P.2 23 February 2014 The Haber Process The Haber process, otherwise known as the Haber-Bosch process is the reaction of Nitrogen (g) and Hydrogen (g), to produce ammonia; a huge part in the making of plant fertilizers. Ammonia is extremely difficult to produce on a large industrial scale, but the fertilizer made from it is responsible for sustaining one-third of Earth’s population. It was created by a chemist by the name of Fritz Haber, and it was then asked for another
2015 Ammonium Phosphates A Profile (World) Ammonium phosphates, utilized as fertilizers, are the result of the reaction of phosphoric acid and ammonia. About 3% of Ammonium phosphate is used as animal feed and for industrial application and diammonium phosphate is used as phosphate fertilizer. The N-P-K ratio of 18-46-0 and good handling properties make it ideal for small and large-scale agriculture. The combination of 1,175 tons of phosphoric acid with 40% P2O5 and 0.23 tons of ammonia give a ton
Masses will travel from all around the world, locally, and throughout the country all to participate in a once a year event. All of the participants take part in a temporary city that is Burning Man, and will light a giant wooden man, burning it to nothing but ashes here in Nevada’s Black Rock desert. This event is described as an experiment of itself and art that followers ten main principles, “radical” inclusion, self-reliance, and self-expression with the purpose of community cooperation, civic
use of fertilizer became a norm in farming and agriculture and was not considered a potentially harmful substance. Modern science in combination with the terrorist mind has looked at fertilizer as a weapon, particularly those containing ammonium nitrate. The Ammonium Nitrate Security Program shows how far the United States has progressed by regressing when the issue of terrorism is presented into the conversation. Terrorists are using readily available tools which can be purchased legally without knowledge
Ammonium chloride caused the water to cool. This means that the Ammonium chloride drew energy from the water to help it dissolve. As a result of losing its energy, the water cooled down. Calcium chloride caused the water to warm up. This means that energy from the calcium chloride was released and the water absorbed this heat. As a result, the temperature of the water increased. 3. Since you are measuring the temperature of the water, let’s call that the system. Relative to the water, was this
The effects of ammonium nitrate on c-fern spore germination Introduction: Organisms need their own set of nutrients. These nutrients are what help the cell survive so that the whole organism could survive. Organisms have their own set of nutrients. On earth there are three domains of life. These domains are the bacteria, Archaea, and eukarya (Brooker et al. 2013) most of the cells that are being researched and examined are cells in the domain Eukarya because cells in this domain usually exists
Disadvantages of using a shampoo Today, shampoo plays an integral part of our hair care regime. This was not the story a couple of years ago. Families at that time used their regular bar of body washing soap to wash their hair as well. Inception and Early Background: The predominance of shampoo began in the late 1900s. They came into being since it was discovered that a soap bar did not create lather in hard water. Shampoos acted as easy cleansing agent to wash hair with hard water. Today, shampoos
only problem is you don’t always have direct access to ice. We have solved this issue by creating instant ice packs. These are made of a mixture of chemicals and water. My question is which brand of ice pack works the best? Do the ones containing Ammonium Nitrate work better than those containing Urea, or vice versa? Is just keeping a cooler of ice a better option? Icing a small injury can be a very effective short term treatment. Cold treatments decrease swelling, numb pain, and can limit internal
