"Gummy Bear Experiment" with molten Potassium chlorate

[painless9000000]

i ♥ watchen this video

[solojam]

do this on a larger scale!!

[anlasda34]

where can i get thoose chemicals and powder in singapore

[pyropakman]

If you run an electric current through a saturated solution of potassium chloride using graphite electrodes from a lantern battery, you can make potassium chlorate. Or you could use regular sodium chloride table salt to make sodium chlorate, and just add in potassium chloride to serve as a potassium ion source.

Lol. I don't think the volcano gods like green gummy bears.

And that is definitely one gummy bear you won't be able to eat after the experiment. FWOOSH! Burninated. :D

[Jonathanpoll]

Poor gummy bear... How could you... LOOOOOL!!!

[andyroo24601]

Nooo, not the green one!

Excellent videos :)

[LHCb42]

Judgement Day of Gummy Bear has come

:D

[MageKirby]

Left 4 Flames D:!

[carpenoctem66]

That was quite an interesting result!

[11to]

i mean is this possible to do with NaNO3?

[Cforchemistry]

I said I will tell you the possibility in terms of video, so what do you think?

[11to]

i think its ok

[Cforchemistry]

The main difference between Potassium chlorate and Sodium chlorate in this experiment is the flame colour.Nothing else is different.

[11to]

i mean like if you melt sodium nitrate would this work with a gummybear?

[Cforchemistry]

Of course I know what you mean, I just want to say that oxidizer only supply oxygen for Gummy bear to burn, theoritically most oxidizer will work.

[Cforchemistry]

and soryy and typing Sodium Nitrate wrongly as Sodium Chlorate, which makes you not able to understand.

[11to]

so you did you ment sodium nitrate all the time?

[Cforchemistry]

Actually yes, sorry for being so misleading.

[lamlamchem]

it is really amazing. Certainly, it can extend to doing plenty of possible tests on different objects under the oxygen rich environment.

[Cforchemistry]

Agree, but some substances are too powerful in oxygen rich environment, such as iron powder.

[lamlamchem]

How about the substances containing other saccharides like fructose (generally present in fruits, apples, pears...) or glucose itself?

[Cforchemistry]

They actually react similarly to gummy bear, as their content are roughly the same.

[11to]

can you do this with molten NaNO3?

[Cforchemistry]

I can make a revisit to this experiment some time later with Sodium chlorate, please check out my channel for Sodium version later on.

GREAT! great video, man !!!

[xavierx93]

looks like a freakin lightsaber

[Cforchemistry]

Thats Hot lightsaber that no one can hold!

[NurseAmmy]

Holy crap... IT'S FOXFIRE!! I knew those bears shouldn't be trusted!

[pklages4]

Great video! I saw something similar in a video included with my chemistry text once upon a time, but I think yours was much better!

What do you edit your videos with? I have final cut express, and my laptop takes forever to render videos, so I've been slow on posting, even though I have some new video footage of a rocket powered (actually just a fire-extinguisher) professor on a cart!

[Cforchemistry]

I use PowerDirector usually.

[KMnO4dalla]

Good vid! 5*

[y2k042000]

i think it should be ...2KClO3-->KClO4+O2+KCl..

[Cforchemistry]

For partial decomposition, it is. However, KClO4 can further decompose yielding only KCl and O2, the eqn. shown is actually the combined eqn.

[02151d14]

nice vid!

[ChemHow2]

Great quality, with good explanations

I laughed at 1:01

[Cforchemistry]

Chemistry is always fun!

[xx916glicherxx]

that was really cool i didnt expect that
