I forget the chemistry behind this, but here's a 'fun' demonstration they liked to show us at school.

  • am i the only one who came here to see the dying jelly baby and not the chemical reaction?

  • Its a Excellent Example of Oxidizing

    lol and its funny to see such a little jelly baby explode in a violent reaction like this

  • you heat potassium chlorate, so the oxygen (the -ate bit) is removed from the compound, to leave potassium chloride. its illegal to put any acids near it. you have to use a jelly baby, cos it has a small surface area, whereas if you used something like sugar (with a larger surface area) it would...well...explode!

  • aha we did this in our chemistry lesson the other day. i forget the chemistry too, but it was brilliant =]:

  • We did this one at school but with gummy bears.

  • mr burch hasnt shown us yet.

  • This rocks i cant wait to do it at school!

    :D

  • WOT IS WITH EVERYONE!

    jelly babies are for life not just for christmas!

    OR EATING OR KILLING IN ANY WAY !

  • Wow, a lot of views for this.

  • cool
