Can you explain the reaction for this?

I haven't researched it in depth, but it is sort of like a combustion reaction in which potassium chlorate produces the oxygen. Potassium chlorate can decompose, 2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2, and the sugar reacts with the oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide. However, I would guess that the mechanism would have the reactions happening together rather than separately. Also, the color comes from the potassium, the standard flame color of potassium.

It got a sugar rush

One crossed wire, one wayward pinch o' potassium chlorate, ONE ERRANT TWITCH...and KABLOOEY!

Dude tighten the grip on that test tube. It’s falling out. Nearly a disaster

hah, glad you noticed. Actually, it was quite snug until the rubber of the clamp melted

I was wondering why the tube started slipping. It melted the rubber? Wow.

Add potassium chlorate to the sugar container of your enemy and watch their house burn down the next time they try to bake anything.

Can you do sodium bicarbonate vs potassium chlorate next please?

That was quite suggestive there at the end

This very nice use of kazakhstan potassium!

Where do you get KCLO3 from?

WOW 😮

With a rubber grip. Genius

How much KClO3 did you use?

@ketzbook

it is pure melted KClO3, no water. I didn't weigh it.

What type of tube is used in order to do the reaction?

The heat turned it aqueous, super exothermic that the plastic clamp melted

Can we not harness this for energy?

now try smarties

What a nice experiment,sunds like a 2jz burnout

bravo! we love g3 '25 🫶
