Explanation:

The major difference between low and high explosives is the rate of detonation. Low explosives detonate very slowly (less than 1,000 meters per second), whereas high explosives detonate very quickly (from 1,000 to 8,500 meters per second).

High explosives among the given list are Lead azide residues, Ammonium nitrate residues, and  Scraps of primacord. Whereas Nitrocellulose residues and, Potassium chlorate residues are low explosives.

How many liters of C3H6O are present in a sample weighing 25.6 grams?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

V = 0.0327 L.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the liters of C3H6O by the definition of density. We can tell the density of this substance as that of acetone (0.784 g/mL) and therefore calculate the liters as shown below:

V=25.6g*\frac{1mL}{0.784g}*\frac{1L}{1000mL}\\\\V=0.0327L

How do tectonic plates move at convergent subduction boundaries? Insert a drawing with the arrows that show the movement
boyakko [2]

Answer:

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. ... As the sinking plate moves deeper into the mantle, fluids are released from the rock causing the overlying mantle to partially melt.
