Do you know?Acetone Peroxide [C6H12O4 (dimer), C9H18O6 (trimer)] (above) is extremely sensitive to heat, friction and shock, and will explode violently upon contact with heat, friction and shock. Highly explosive. Explosives are classified as low or high explosives according to their rates of decomposition: low explosives burn rapidly (or deflagrate), while high explosives detonate. While these definitions are distinct, the problem of precisely measuring rapid decomposition makes practical classification of explosives difficult.
The chemical decomposition of an explosive may take years, days, hours, or a fraction of a second. The slower processes of decomposition take place in storage and are of interest only from a stability standpoint. Of more interest are the two rapid forms of decomposition, deflagration and detonation.
Today wasn't much... Been to school... The class is in chaos. All the tables are arranged in a messy manner. Arranged back in order, later on found out to be messy again. -.- Then later on, had the pre-departure on the Wuhan trip. Then went home at about 7+... The entire fish dropped on me while i was taking it to my plate! Lols. Anyway, i've got to thank all my friends, teachers and everyone who helped me achieve 20/20 for my E-maths common test! :DWalking the path of heaven, the one who will rule over everything.
