The extra heat generated excites the electrons in the colour-producing chemicals added in the firework mixture and thus produces beautiful colours. The oxidising property of potassium chlorate is ...

White smoke is created with potassium chlorate, lactose (milk sugar), and ... The system is backed by electric heating and air fans to guarantee reliable output, eliminating ambiguity.

Red phosphorus is fairly stable, but microscopic amounts convert into dangerously unstable white phosphorus through friction heat ... a stiff paste of potassium chlorate and glue and rolling ...

Mallard (Bulletin de la Sociélé Minémlogique, 1882, p. 214) that certain crystals, such as boracite and potassium sulphate, have their crystallo-graphic character profoundly modified by ...

The potassium chlorate gets heated up until it starts to decompose into potassium chloride and oxygen. A gummy bear, laden with sugar, gets added to the mix and the heat from the potassium ...

For black smoke, the Vatican uses a mixture of potassium perchlorate, anthracene, and sulphur. The white smoke used to signal ...

IN the course of studies on the kinetics of soil nitrification, using our perfusion technique 1, we have observed a remarkable inhibitory effect of potassium chlorate on the conversion of ammonia ...

The heat generated by the burning red phosphorus triggers the decomposition of the potassium chlorate. The oxygen released by potassium chlorate further assists the burning of the red phosphorus.
