Introduction The purpose of the experiment is to try to create a “Snake” firework. This firework isn’t explosive but may produce smoke. By mixing baking soda and sugar together, dampening the mixture with lighter fluid, and then igniting the baking soda and sugar mixture, we will produce carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas will then puff up into black carbon ash. The growing of this column of ash is what the snake firework is. What we will be measuring in the experiment is how long we…
