Hydrogen peroxide (H202) is a syrupy liquid with a relatively low vapor pressure and a normal boiling point of 152.2°C. Rationalize the differences between these physical properties and those of water. 

August 18. For the past week, we have been living on C-rations— naturally I in particular take a dim view of such behavior— and the view becomes even dimmer when I realize that we have to live on C-rations again next week. Dickinson also suflFers with us and gets off some choice remarks at meal times. [NDRC group photograph taken at this time. Figure 5.5.]...

The tin can mine is constructed from sheet metal or any discarded metal container (C-ration, beer, or soft drink can) The firing device for the explosive is an improvised fuse with zero delay action. A handgrenade fuse may be used by removal of the delay element. The mine ftinctions by a tripwire attached to the pull ring. Pressure on the tripwire pulls the pull ring, activating the mine in the same manner as a handgrenade.
