TNT is exothermic, however it is so explosive becuase it has a high activation of energy. A TNT explosion will look sooty because of the production of carbon. TNT is a specific chemical compound; where the closely related Dynamite is an absorbent mixture that is soaked in nitroglycerin. TNT used to be the figure of sensitivity, exactly 100, however it has now been changed to a less sensitive; TNT is now 80.
