'''Silver fulminate''' is an unstable chemical compound, the [[silver]] salt of fulminic acid. It has the formula '''AgCNO'''.<br />
<br />
While they have the same chemical formula (isomers), silver fulminate is NOT silver cyanate. Silver fulminate is also NOT fulminating silver.<br />
<br />
==Properties==<br />
===Chemical===<br />
Silver fulminate readily detonates to release carbon oxides and nitrogen gas. A fine mist of silver powder is also generated.<br />
<br />
===Physical===<br />
Silver fulminate is a white solid, insoluble in water, but soluble in aq. [[ammonia]]. It dissolves in [[pyridine]] by forming a complex.<br />
<br />
===Explosive===<br />
Silver fulminate is extremely sensitive to friction, heat and shock.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13_DTaC1lso</ref> It explodes with a loud bang, releasing a cloud of silver metal powder. It cannot be piled up, as it tends to detonate under its own weight, even under liquid.<br />
<br />
==Availability==<br />
Silver fulminate is sold as bang snaps, where it's mixed with sand. Separation may not worth the effort though and quite dangerous.<br />
<br />
==Preparation==<br />
Silver fulminate can be prepared by adding a solution of [[silver nitrate]] in [[nitric acid]], into [[ethanol]], under carefully controlled conditions, to avoid an explosion. The reaction is usually done at 80-90 °C, as AgCNO doesn't form at room temperature. Do not synthesize large amounts, as there's a risk of explosion.<br />
<br />
Another route involves the reaction of [[silver carbonate]] with [[ammonia]].<br />
<br />
Silver fulminate also forms when nitrogen oxide gas is passed through a solution of silver nitrate in ethanol.<br />
<br />
==Projects==<br />
*Make bang snaps<br />
<br />
==Handling==<br />
===Safety===<br />
Silver fulminate is a very sensitive explosive and should be handled with care.<br />
<br />
Detonation produces a fine mist of metallic silver, which is irritant and stains.<br />
<br />
===Storage===<br />
Do not store silver fulminate! Use it as fast as possible.<br />
<br />
===Disposal===<br />
Silver fulminate can be neutralized via controlled detonation. The residual silver powder should be recycled, though if it's minute amounts of silver, it may not worth the effort.<br />
<br />
A safe non-explosive way involves addition of a thiocyanate salt. Hydrochloric acid will also works.<br />
