Dynamite is manufactured with the help of :

  • A.Mercury fulminate
  • B.Nitroglycerine
  • C.Ammonia nitrate
  • D.Potassium nitrate

Answer: B

Dynamite is manufactured with nitroglycerine.

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite in 1867 by absorbing liquid nitroglycerine, which is dangerously sensitive to shock, into an absorbent material, originally kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth). This made the explosive far safer to handle and transport while keeping its power.

Mercury fulminate is a primary explosive used in detonators, not the body of dynamite. Ammonium nitrate and sodium or potassium nitrate are used in some later 'ammonia' dynamites and in black powder, but the defining ingredient of dynamite is nitroglycerine.
