SUGAR And POTASSIUM NITRATE(PROPELLANT)

1-melt sugar in pan


2-add potassium nitrate(KNO₃) to melted sugar an
mix carefully.
3-pour mixture to mold and add fuse(trigger) inside
it.
Fuse(trigger)

UREA NITRATE PREPRATION(explosive)


Chemical
1-Urea(NH₂CONH₂)
2-Nitric acid(HNO₃)
3-Distilled Water
Reaction
Urea(NH₂CONH₂) + Nitric acid (HNO₃) Urea
Nitrate
Apparatus
1-Beaker 100ml
2-Beaker 500ml
3-Measuring Flask 100ml
4-large container
Experment
1)Measure 46g urea in 100ml beaker take a larger
container & add cold water in it.
o and ice in it
2)place 500ml beaker in it & add 46g of urea in it.
o add about 30ml of water in it.
o stirr till dissolve
next add concentrated 50ml nitric acid in
it(HNO₃)
o add HNO₃ solution slowly using burret and
pipette.stirr in the middle of the reaction.
o after reaction completed.place it on heating
plate(stove) to evaporate water(H₂O).
3)after evaporation and crystallization we get urea
nitrate crystall.
yield is about 71%.

AMMONIUM NITRATE AND SUGAR


PREPRATION(explosive)
1-Mix ammonium nitrate and sugar
2-flour of ammonium nitrate and sugar mix together
3-pour in to closed mold and add fuse inside it.
SYNTHESIS OF AMMONIUM NITRATE(fertilizer)
Chemicals
1-Nitric acid(HNO₃)
2-5% Ammonia solution(NH₃)
Experment
1-Take a beaker and add 25ml of cold Ammonia
solution in it.

2-Add cold nitric acid slowly to prevent the solution


from heating up as it is an exothermic process.
We see ammonium nitrate fume.
Chemical Reaction
HNO₃ + NH₄OH NH₄NO₃ + H₂O
3-Add nitric acid to the solution until it becomes
neutral.
4-Now heat the solution till the volume of the
solution remain one fourth.
5-add the solution to a smaller beaker and heat it
again to evaporate the water
6-To produce ammonium nitrate crystals,cool the
solution.
7-crystals formed on the bottom of the beaker after
it cooled down.
