Question

Lets look at simplified version of the oxidation/reduction reaction that caused the destruction of the Oklahoma City Federal Building in 1995:

3NH₄NO₃(s) + C₁₀H₂₂(l) + 14O₂(g)   → 3N₂(g) + 17 H₂O(g) + 10 CO₂(g) + heat

Oxidizing agents and reducing agents are dangerous for several reasons some of which include the promotion of combustion in other materials; oxidizers have excess oxygen which can provide excess oxygen in a reaction; often oxidation/reduction reactions result in the generation of excess heat and/or pressure or the generation of flammable and/or toxic gases.

The homemade bomb that destroyed this building was packed into a moving truck. The moving truck was parked near the Federal building and then detonated. This is an oxidation\reduction reaction that resulted in the generation of excess __________ and _____________.

Answer 1

when the bomb explodes the area around the explosion will be over pressurised due to the release of lot of heat and different gases including nitrogen and Carbon oxides and water vapould. Due to this ovens pressure, the particles in air are also highly Compressed and tacruel Juster than the speed of sound which will be called blast ware, where it tauches to a object (ory body it will pass through the body and woull breakes the body or object to a pieces. . this entire thing will happen due to the high readease of heat and gases with in a small area which generates high pressure. in this is an oxilatica ) seduction reaction that resulted in the generation of excess Heat and gases (Hovapour, M₂. com) e pressure & Answer is necess heat and pressure CamScanner
