Why does a gummy bear react to potassium chlorate?

Because potassium chlorate reacts to sulfuric acid. ( sugar )NO NO NO Sulfuric Acid IS NOT SUGAR. Sugar is a molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only. The sugar that the gummy bears contain the most is sucrose (C12H22O11) and that is what the KClO3 or potassium chlorate reacts with in order to produce CO2+H2O+KCl (unbalanced equation).


What are the components mixture in match stick?

The striking surface is composed of typically 25% powdered glass, 50% red phosphorus, 5% neutralizer, 4% carbon black and 16% binder; and the match head is typically composed of 45-55% potassium chlorate, with a little sulfur and starch, a neutralizer (ZnO or CaCO3), 20-40% of siliceous filler, diatomite and glue.[9] Some heads contain antimony(III) sulfide so they burn more vigorously. Safety matches ignite due to the extreme reactivity of phosphorus with the potassium chlorate in the match head. When the match is struck the phosphorus and chlorate mix in a small amount forming something similar to the explosive Armstrong's mixture which ignites due to the friction.
