  • how to stop the burning reaction?

    or do you have to wait till all the reactants are gone before you could do anything

  • K is very toxic!

  • Nice one.

    I'm thinking of trying that at my work place xD

  • @BenHutchinson1 KClO3 oxidizes Sugar.in an exothermic reaction, though it only occurs at a high temperature. H2SO4 starts the reaction (only a small bit is needed) by oxidizing the sugar in a slower exothermic reaction. The heat from the H2SO4 allows the KCl03 to oxidize the sugar in the faster more violent reaction that you saw

  • ...and that is how they came up with the lightsaber...

  • the cheapest bleu flame you'il ever see!
