Amazing Reaction: Potassium Chlorate and Sugar

[super22sprinkles]

i love you mr gumy bear ,,,,fuck the green 1

[xXPuR3B100dXx]

@jcdezoyza no, salt is sodium chloride. Idk what potassium chlorides household name is

[Saanvel1]

dude can i use Potassium nitrate?

[mcovalt]

This music is boss!

[misspatches2012]

my freshman biology teacher did this w/ M&Ms

[ChilloutAreaDude]

can i build rockets with this

[jcdezoysa]

isn't potassium chlorate just salt

[mostafajento]

Blolololoo lololololo

[NANAZ7726]

Amazing

[Healingsoul1]

KILL THIS WITCH !!!

[kcirtap1423]

you can use potassium nitrate instead of potassium chlorate and you'll get a similar if not identical effect

[spotlightman1234]

@kcirtap1423yes you'll get a very similar effect but nothing as powerful as with KClO3.

[RAINZHOU09]

Sugar and potassium chlorate often react extremely violently. i want to avoid the explosion. How can i make the reaction less dramatic?

[GlitchScape]

Exothermic reaction, anyone else agree?

[sillymonkey829]

@GlitchScape Who the fuck could possibly disagree? Looks pretty damn hot to me!

And @RAINZHOU09 Use very small of each. Less surface area = less dramatic results.

[leearmstrong21121993]

Where can I buy potassium chlorate in the UK?

[MUSICfan431]

My favorite reaction!!!

[kayusica]

My mother does like that when she's nervous! xD

[spotlightman1234]

when ever i try this the sugar cube is shot back out of the test tube splattering chlorate also. what can i do

[UnpredictableProduct]

im never going to eat anything with sugar in it again.

[kane38885]

sounded like a screamer video

[legomaker8]

brown

[randyclar747]

Is there a potassium chlorate, sugar rocket propellant.?  I think this would work splendidly.

[PyroChemicals2]

@randyclar747 No, chlorates are too unstable for rocketry use

[xxFlyer73]

just wondering where did you buy that ring stand and that test tube clamp thing...b/c ive been looking everywhere for one...Thanks

[alewisgb]

It's also called no- salt and it's radioactive.

[cookiemonsterules]

That sounded really funny.

[FlyForITG]

Oxidation. It is when something reacts with air. Like Magnesium Metal, it reacts by burning brightly. Some things do not react with air, and some need heat and a catalyst, like this one.

[CaptMorgasm]

What do you mean by oxidizing? I'm guessing something to do with oxygen?.

[bjstechbjstech]

Now that was a neat experiment

[Ameo91]

lol @ the poppin at the end :'D

[jacker372]

Potassium Chlorate can be bought  where.

[johncarloLR]

is this the thing they use for nitrous?

[hackdown3]

That sure startled me.

[pheonixslayer21]

i jumped because i thought nothing would happen hehe

[nikap64]

Get this shit outta my mouth!!!

[yadira1orn101]

hell fire!!!

[Jazztimuzzz]

CRAZY!!!!

[ridonkulous192]

Holy shit!

[kitkat123474]

you can use a gummy bear as well :P

[ThirstForScience]

Very true! Anything with sugar in it works very well. I didn't have any gummy bears with me, but I think I will film a VS. video with a bunch of different candies soon. :)

[Oyashio202]

actually my chemistry professor said that this reaction works with anything organic with potassium chlorate.. a student challenged him by saying he couldn't make a raisin explode... well he won xD

[apprenticesurvivor]

@ThirstForScience yeah we did this at the end of the year in chem our teacher was a kook so we all chanted WAH HOO HA HE HA HO HO HO ( from finding nemo) before "sacraficing" the gummy bear to please the chemistry gods

[tomalotube]

@ThirstForScience can I do this with stump remover?

[JesterC88]

that was fucking awesome

[mikr0bas]

where to get that potasium chlorate ?!

[Drumermaniac]

HOLY CRAP!

[123sebo456]

very awesome shit ^^  !!!!!!!

[RikuElement]

Omg when i was watching this i COULD NOT stop laughing for some unusual reason,,,,

[spenfisher2]

exactly dont do it at home do it at a friends house lol

[comedytonighttt]

...It burped. lol

[floop12]

w00t the jellybaby reaction!

[Danny19921125]

AWESOME!

[sensfan48]

wow
