Expert Solution
Step 1

(a)

Aluminum ANFO is an explosive material that is a combination of Ammonium nitrate NH4NO3, Fuel Oil CH2and Aluminum Al.

 

Write the reaction for the explosion as follows:

At first the AN reacts with fuel Oil, here the fuel oil is regular oil i.e, CH2.

3NH4NO3 +CH2  3N2 +7H2O + CO2

Three moles of AN reacts with 1 mole of CH2 forms 3 moles of N2, 7 moles of H2O, and 1 mole of CO.
