	Silver fulminate Information
		Silver fulminate (AgONC) is an ionic compound of silver and the fulminate anion.
		Silver fulminate is used in "trick noise-makers", a popular type of novelty firework.
		Silver fulminate was first prepared in 1800 by Edward Howard in his research project to prepare a large variety of fulminates.

	Silver - LoveToKnow 1911
		Silver is widely diffused throughout nature, occurring in minute amount in sea-water, and in the mineral kingdom as the free metal, as an amalgam with mercury and as alloys with gold, platinum, copper and other metals.
		The so-called "oxidized" silver is a copper-silver alloy coated superficially with a layer of the sulphides by immersion in sodium sulphide or otherwise.
		Silver chloride, AgC1, constitutes the mineral cerargyrite or horn silver; mixed with clay it is the butter-milk ore of the German miners.

		Silver is extremely resistant to acetic acid and, therefore, silver vats are used in the acetic acid, vinegar, cider and brewing industries.
		Silver is also used in busbars and windings of electrical plants, in silver solders, dental amalgams, high-capacity batteries, engine bearings, sterling ware and in ceramic paints.
		The most unstable silver compounds, such as silver acetylide, silver ammonium compounds, silver azide, silver chlorate, silver fulminate and silver picrate, should be kept in cool, well-ventilated places, protected from shock, vibration and contamination by organic or other readily oxidizable materials and away from light.

	PowerLabs Fulminates Synthesis!
		Mercury fulminate is an unstable primary explosive compound.
		These were the explosive fulminate, which now had to have all traces of acid removed from it in order to become stable.
		Once the mercury fulminate had been fully dissolved in ammonium hydroxide solution, the solution was filtered and the filtrate, containing a small amount of metallic mercury and dark impurities (which proved to be almost as explosive as the primary explosive itself) was discarded, whilst the filtered solution was kept.

		Silver possesses a flexibility that makes it an ideal material for the most elegant and sophisticated pieces right through to a less-formal look used by young people in their accessorizing, as well as appealing to those who simply find gold and platinum too old-world and ostentatious.
		Silver is said to have a "patina," a worn-looking finish that is achieved through frequent use and handling, and is particular to the wearer's skin chemistry.
		Silver nitrate (liquid) and silver sulfadiazine cream (SSD Cream) were the "standard of care" for the antibacterial/antibiotic treatment of serious burns until the late 1990's.

		Silver is a chemical element with the symbol Ag (from the traditional abbreviation for the Latin argentum).
		Silver halides are photosensitive and are remarkable for the effect of light upon them.

	Silver fulminate (Gerald L. Hurst; Roger Fleming; Steve Faber)
		It was (and is) set off >when a crystal of fulminate is crushed or rubbed between two grains of >the gravel; the reaction them communicates to the remainder of the >fulminate rapidly enough to be perceived as a single "snap" with a >little flash of light in company.
		The active silver fulminate can be initiated by the impact of water droplets and it is brisant enough to give you a body and face full of shrapnel.
		Fulminating compounds are known for several of the precious metals, and were actually the first high explosives discovered, back in the days of alchemy, but are so unstable (and expensive) they have never had any practical use.

	Copper, Silver and Gold
		Silver chloride is white, and the bromide is pale yellow.
		Silver was melted onto brass or copper ingots, and the ingots were then rolled, giving a thin cladding of silver on the base metal, greatly reducing the cost of items made from it, which were as beautiful as solid Sterling.
		Silver is often associated with lead, from which it is separated by the process known as cupellation, in which the lead is oxidized and leaves the silver behind.

		Slag dumps in Asia Minor and on islands in the Aegean Sea indicate that man learned to separate silver from lead as early as 3000 B.C. Silver occurs native and in ores, such as argentite (Ag2S) and horn silver (AgCI); lead, lead-zinc, copper, gold, and copper-nickel ores are principal sources.
		Silver fulminate (Ag2C2N2O2), a powerful explosive, is sometimes formed during the silvering process.
		While silver itself is not con- sidered to be toxic, most of its salts are poisonous due to the anions present.

		The fulminate is then precipitated by adding ethanoic acid which reacts with the ammonia and therefore the fulminate is not longer dissolved.

		When freshly deposited, it is the best reflector of visible light known, but is rapidly tarnished and loses much of its relectance.
		Exposure to silver (metal and soluble compounds, as Ag) in air should not exceed 0.01 mg/m^3, (8-hour time-weighted average - 40 hour week).
		As of January 1990, the price of silver was about $5.25/troy oz.; however, the price has fluctuated considerably due to market instability.
