Silver iodide is most often dispersed for seeding by

  • A.dissolving it in water and spraying it from the ground
  • B.packing it into a rocket that is fired above the cloud top
  • C.burning it in an acetone solution to produce a fine smoke
  • D.dropping it as solid pellets from a high altitude aircraft

Answer: C

Correct answer: burning it in an acetone solution to produce a fine smoke

A solution of silver iodide in acetone is burnt in a generator, and the vapour condenses into particles of a few hundredths of a micrometre. That is the size wanted: enough particles per gram to be worth releasing, and small enough to be carried into the cloud by the updraught.
