Chemical Bombs
Chemical Bombs : Devices in which a chemical reaction takes place within a confined space. The following are the most common types: (a) Acid Bomb. Common ingredients are hydrochloric acid and aluminum foil that chemically reacts to give off heat, ultimately producing hydrogen gas and sufficient pressure to burst the container. (b) Caustic Bomb. Alkali based devices mixed with water and aluminum foil. The most common ingredient is sodium hydroxide, a corrosive in both liquid and solid forms that can immediately cause serious burns to skin on contact. (c) Dry Ice Bomb. When dry ice evaporates, carbon dioxide gas is released. It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes for enough pressure to build to rupture the contained. When detonation occurs before all the dry ice has evaporated, the remaining dry ice becomes fragments that can cause frostbite when contacting skin tissues
