Putting Bang Snaps Into Liquid to See if They Bang Will N 2012-2013 Cary Academy

The purpose of this experiment is to see how long bang snaps can be soaked in many different liquids and still pop. The hypothesis of the experiment was that the bang snaps could still pop after being in the water for 5 seconds and in the vinegar for 10 seconds. Also that the bang snaps could be soaked in ammonia for 12 seconds. The method of the experiment is to get the materials that are needed for the experiment. Then get the stopwatch ready. After that put the bang snap inside of the liquid for 3 seconds to start out with. Then increase by 2 each time. If the bang snap won’t make the next 2 seconds then take away one second try that one. If that doesn’t work then use the second under that second. The result for the experiment was that the bang snaps could still pop after 15 seconds with the ammonia, 8 seconds with the vinegar and 6 seconds with the water.
 * ABSTRACT **

**Experimental Improvements**
Also some ways on how to improve this experiment is by getting fresh bang snaps because the bang snaps had large gashes inside of them. Which means that the liquid can get inside of the bang snap more easily. A way to expand on this experiment is by using the same liquids but testing them on different novelty explosive toys. The reason why this is said is because most of the other novelty explosive toys have silver fulminate on them. So that means that the results could be the same.
