Question
Sir
Human body contains both nitrogen as well as glycerol(by the digestion of food),then why these substances react with one another and create nitroglycerin?
does human body contains H2SO4(concentrate)?
another question that i want to ask u is that-

can we convert human body in to a diamond?

Answer
Hi Karan
 I cannot answer the question about nitroglecerin but the basic laws of chemistry determine how substances react with on eonother
 The body does not contain any sulfuric acid.
 Under intense heat and pressure Carbon can be crystallized into a diamond so theoretically the C in your body could be in the right conditions
