Ideal Decomposition of Nitromethane Created by Brent Buffham © 2021 Currently only available in Metric Units Go Back... Calculate the Output in Tonnes of Carbon Please be aware this is a proxy equation and in NO way suggests the use of nitromethane. Nitromethane has a history of injury during the 1970-1980s and this equation is only used for the purpose of showing Carbon output of modern explosives. Inputs Equivalent Explosive Tonnes (T) Additional Comments ... Start Components 01) Ammonium Nitrate = 24.75 T 02) Nitro Methane = 297 T End Components 03) Nitrogen (N2) = 849.42 Tonnes 04) Water (H2O) = 24.75 T 05) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) = 297 T 06) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) = 849.42 kg 07) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) = 13.2 g 08) Tonnes of Carbon = 13.2 T Decomposition Equation: 3NH4NO3 + 2CH3NO2 -> 4N2 + 2CO2 + 9H2O This calculator provides the Tonnes of Carbon emitted from the ideal decomposition of Nitromethane.
