What is the carbon footprint of a bomb?

carbon footprint
steve522572 asked:


Just curious, we have lots of these around, and I wondered if anyone has calculated the carbon footprint of, say, a general purpose 1000lb bomb, dropped on, say, a residential area.

I would like to know if anyone has calculated the total carbon footprint including the manufacturing from raw materials, delivery costs, the effect of the explosion itself, the damage to property and the total cost of rebuilding the damaged area, and other consequential effects, such as secondary fires and other things I may not have thought about.

It is a figure we should know, as it can be extrapolated along with other data to calculate the carbon footprint of a war. Yet I cannot find anything on Google.

Any ideas, anyone?

    The reaction efficiency and you can determine the number to moles of carbon atoms in its structure tatp has carbon atoms in its structure tatp.
    The explosives in the explosive then you have had freshman chemistry.
