5. 6. 7. Bubble acetylene through the solution for 5 to 8 minutes. A brown vapor will be given off and white flakes will appear in the silver solution. Remove the silver solution from the heat source and allow it to cool. Filter the solution through a paper towel into a glass container. Green crystals will collect on the paper. Wash the solids collected on the paper towel with 12 teaspoons of alcohol. The solid material will turn white while the solvent in the container will have a green color. 8. Place the white solid material on a clean paper towel to air dry.
Caution: Handle dry explosive with great care. Do not scrape or handle it roughly. Keep away from sparks or open flames.
