The Halifax Explosion From a Chemistry Point of View

Dec. 6, 1917 This started out as a typical winter day in Halifax. However, Halifax was not a typical city. It was the gathering place for convoys of ships heading to the War in Europe with troops and supplies. Use this web site to get an overview of the situation. Mysteries of CanadaMysteries of Canada

Dig into the Story Why did the collision occur? How did the fire aboard the Mont Blanc start? Describe some details about the force of the explosion.

The manifest of the Mont Blanc What reactants were involved in the disaster and how were they chemically combined to cause the explosion? Use the Merck Index, the Condensed Chemical Dictionary, the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics and this website to answer this question. Wikipedia: Picric Acid. This web site can be used as a source for the other chemicals.Wikipedia: Picric Acid. Record the chemical formula, the reactivity, the chemical synonyms, and general properties of each compound. Indicate if the compound is ionic or molecular.

Concept Map of the Event Make a flow chart of the chemical events that led to the explosion. These websites offer some ideas for concept mapping/flow charting: Concept mapping 1, Concept Mapping 2Concept mapping 1,Concept Mapping 2 Use Inspiration to create the Concept Map
