They may also include molecular hydrogen (H2) and molecular oxygen (O2), along with nitric oxide (NO)..... | |

| Dec 6, 2019 at 19:55 | comment | added | Poutnik | @Mithoron That may be questionable, as a mix of CO and H2 is/was industrially produced by reaction of gaseous H2O with hot coke. Independently, both reactions are mentioned in the Wikipedia TNT page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT#Explosive_character | |
| Dec 6, 2019 at 19:09 | comment | added | Mithoron | Second equation for TNT should rather be with CO2 and C - probably most accurate. Definitely no H2 there, sooner there would be only C then any gaseous hydrogen. | |

Involved the forgotten TNT methyl group.
