Document Summary
Terminology black powder ------ normally, a mixture of potassium nitrate, carbon, and sulfur in the ratio. X-ray diffraction ------ an analytical technique for identifying crystalline materials. X-ray: a high-energy, short-wavelength form of electromagnetic radiation. Which type of explosive is classified into two groups, primary and secondary? high explosives. The oxidizing agent found in black powder is: potassium nitrate. Low explosives decompose at rates that vary up to: Creation of a supersonic shock wave as a result of an explosion is referred to as: detonation. In recent years, dynamite has been replaced commercially by: The single most important step in the detection and analysis of explosive residues is: Answer: the collection of appropriate samples from the explosion scene. After bomb-scene debris has been examined microscopically, the next step. Answer: rinse the recovered debris with acetone to separate the debris from explosive material. Common screening tests for the presumptive identification of explosives include all of the following except:
