Caustic soda and chlorine are made by the electrolysis of salt solutions, and potassium chlorate by the electrolysis of potassium chloride solution. The electric current is also used in refining ...

Instead the 2013 recipe calls for potassium chlorate, the common sugar lactose and a type of pine resin sometimes known as Greek pitch. The first two ingredients are a common pair, Steinberg says ...

anthracene, and sulfur. White smoke is created by burning ballots with a mixture of potassium chlorate, lactose, and rosin.

Potassium chlorate (KClO₃)—even more reactive than perchlorate—ensures a hot, vigorous burn. Lactose acts as the fuel, burning quickly and cleanly into water vapor and carbon dioxide.

Typically, hydrogen is generated through the use of electrolysis to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. It is a promising technology to help address the global energy crisis, but the process is ...

And if a new pope has been elected, potassium chlorate, lactose and chloroform resin would be added to produce white smoke. Has a pope ever been elected on the first ballot? It is possible for a ...
