TNT (or Dynamite, Trinitrotoluene, C6H2(NO2)3CH3) is a pale yellow, solid organic nitrogen compound used as an explosive that is made from toluene with sulfuric and nitric acid. A TNT is not the same as dynamite while the two words are used interchangeably but a special formulation of nitroglycerin for use as an industrial explosive. Gunpowder is a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate (saltpeter).
