  • So could any of those explosions be used to power the combustion in a car engine?

  • i can't help but think of Pete as the Jamie Oliver of chemistry...

  • @khajiit92 Potassium Chlorate has nearly twice the oxidizing power of Potassium Nitrate. Unfortunately the chlorate is more toxic than the nitrate, but that's what a lab is for.

  • what difference does using a chlorate compared to using a nitrate make?

    for example, if you used potassium nitrate instead of potassium chlorate in the example (since the other metals were nitrates)

  • The second one you did, si that how they make flares? it looks really similar.

  • @TheGCoast same thing!

  • @mightyfinejonboy Chemistry >:3
