1. There are two types of explosives, mixtures and compounds.

A
mixture is a combination of an oxidizer and a fuel. The oxidizer helps release the energy from the fuel by adding oxygen molecules to the fuel. A compound is a substance that by itself is explosive and there is no need for an oxidizer. Which one out of the following explosives is a mixture of an oxidizer and a fuel? Acetone peroxide TNT Dynamite Ammonal

6. What is a sensitiser?
A substance used to increase the instability of the explosive A weak explosive A substance which makes an explosive slightly more stable so that it is easier to operate with A powerful explosive

7. There are two ways for an explosive to release its energy. The
first way is detonation whereby the explosive force travels faster than 1000m/s. The second way is when an explosive releases its energy slower than 1000m/s. This is called ______? Deflagration Depravation Dedetonation Delocation

58% of players have answered correctly.

5. What is brisance?
Your Answer: The heat created by the explosive The correct answer was The

speed which the explosive reaches its

maximum pressure
Brisance is also known as the shattering effect.
48% of players have answered correctly.

6. What is a sensitiser?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was A

substance used to increase the instability of

the explosive
Sensitisers create a more sensitive explosive. When we say an explosive is sensitive, it means the explosive is easily detonated by either shock, friction or heat.
50% of players have answered correctly.

7. There are two ways for an explosive to release its energy. The first way is detonation whereby the explosive force travels faster than 1000m/s. The second way is when an explosive releases its energy slower than 1000m/s. This is called ______?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Deflagration

Black powder, gunpowder, squibs, flash powder and most propellants, all under go a process of deflagration. In simpler terms, detonation is supersonic (faster than the speed of sound) and deflagration is subsonic (slower than the speed of sound).
59% of players have answered correctly.

8. In safety, we grade explosives according to their sensitivity with a number and a corresponding letter. Does a class 1.4 D explosive have, a high sensitivity, moderate sensitivity, low sensitivity or insensitivity to shock, friction and heat?
Your Answer: Insensitivity The correct answer was Low

sensitivity

Safety classes range from 1.1 A to 1.6 S 1.1 . The numbers give the information on the sensitivity of the explosive, while the letters give you information on the type of explosive.
37% of players have answered correctly.

9. Which one of the following is a false statement of explosives?

Your Answer: Explosives are used in the production of nitrous oxide. The correct answer was Explosives

are used in the production of

newspapers.
Transportation - explosives are used to eject airbags from cars (sodium azide and black powder) and they are used in aviation to eject a pilot out of his seat in emergencies.

Nitrous oxide - the insensitive explosive ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is heated to release N2O and 2H2O Blood - they are used to simulate a gunshot. Squibs are put into a balloon and detonated. This blasts the blood all over the victim without injuring the person.
47% of players have answered correctly.

Your Answer: Triose, tetrose, pentose, hexose, heptose, octose, nonose, decose The correct answer was Oligosaccharide

The terms triose through decose refer to the number of carbon atoms in one simple sugar, not to the number of simple sugars bonded together. Deoxyribose is a type of simple sugar that had 5-carbon molecules. A disaccharide is two simple sugars together. An oligosaccharide refers to a short polysaccharide containing three to ten monosaccharides.
