What is the explosive chemical used to make the cracker snap?

The explosive chemical used in a cracker snap is usually a small amount of silver fulminate or silver azide. When the cracker is pulled apart, these chemicals rapidly decompose, creating a small explosion that produces the snapping sound.


Is silver explosive?

silver fulminate is a high explosive. I believe it was the first one discovered but I may be wrong about that last part. If I remember my information correctly it is still put in those little snap poppers that can be bought in places with fireworks. It's highly reactive, especially by accident and so unpredictable and sensitive that a person would more likely blow themselves up if they tried to consolidate a pile from those poppers. Though it doesn't sound too hard to make if a person understands the effects of acids on metals and how compounds are generally named.


What kind of substances or reactions might scientists be looking for in their efforts to make fertilizers less explosive?

Fertilizers that are explosive are usually so because of nitrates. Other nitrogen-containing compounds, such as amines, are far less explosive (though they frequently have the disadvantage of being stinky).


What three things make up gunpowder?

Gunpowder is made up of three main components: potassium nitrate (also known as saltpeter), charcoal, and sulfur. These ingredients undergo a chemical reaction when ignited, producing the explosive combustion that propels a bullet out of a gun.


What would happen if you ate plastic explosive?

Plastic explosives are made by combining an explosive compound with a plastic binder and plasticizer to make it more stable and thus safer to handle. Nearly all explosives are toxic to some extent because of their reactive nature. For example, RDX, a chemical used in plastic explosives such as C-4, can cause headaches, disorientation, vomiting, violent seizures, kidney damage, and coma when ingested. Eating as little as 1 cubic centimeter (about the size of a sugar cube) of a plastic explosive can cause death.

Can you make party hat RuneScape?

Well, I wouldn't exactly say 'make' a partyhat but a new partyhat can be introduced to the game by cracking a Christmas cracker. Sadly, it is not possible to introduce new Christmas crackers to the game so the price for crackers will never drop again unless it is possible to get new ones.
