1.	Terrorists often use ammonium nitrate fertilizer as an ingredient in car bombs . When ammonium nitrate explodes, it decomposes to gaseous nitrogen , oxygen and water vapour. The force of the explasion results from the sudden production of a huge volume of hot gas. It has been claimed that NH_(4) NO_3 fertilizer (NH_4)_(2)HPO_4 Analysis of such a disensitized sample of NH_(4) NO_3 showed the mass % nitrogen to be 33.81%An explosive mixture called Amatol contains :
Answer» 80% `NH_(4) NO_(3) + 20% ` TNT 50% `NH_(4) NO_(3) + 50% ` TNB `NH_4NO_3 +Al` `C+NH_(4)NO_3` SOLUTION :80% `NH_(4)NO_3 +20%` TNT is CALLED Amatox - used explosive.
