Yes, the combustion of the components of dynamite (nitrate sensitized with nitroglycerin absorbed on wood pulp) results in an irreversible (2nd law of thermodynamics) exothermic process, thus we have a chemical change.

Exploding dynamite is a chemical change because the chemical composition of the dynamite changes due to the rapid reaction that occurs when it detonates. This results in the release of energy and the formation of new substances.

When Dynamite explodes, the burning or consumption of the dynamite is a Chemical Change.

The damage done during and after the explosion is a Physical Change.
