No. It is not porous.


What was the first color invented of a gummy bear?

I'm pretty sure red.


What happen when potassium chlorate is heated?

It would decompose and turn molten. But be careful when you are doing it. Molten potassium chlorate is very nasty stuff. Spill it onto your skin, and it would leave a terrible burn. Potassium chlorate decomposes into oxygen, and when something that could burn, such as a gummy bear, is added to it, it rapidly combusts, driving the decomposition forward. If you spill molten potassium chlorate, you could think of the table, floor, your clothes, your skin, as another gummy bear. So be cautious when working with it.


Potassium chlorate--on heating potassium?

Despite that potassium chlorate catches on fire when it gets heated in the open, if you put it in a test tube and heat that, instead of burning it will melt into molten form, and this stage of potassium chlorate is extremely reactive, any contact with anything combustible like sugar would cause combustion of it. This is the basis for the famous gummy bear and potassium chlorate experiment. The sugar in the gummy bear would combust on contact with the molten potassium chlorate, resulting in an violent reaction.


How do you make liquid potassium chlorate?

Get a bunsen burner, and hold a flask or test tube with the potassium chlorate powder over the flame till it melts into the highly reactive liquid form. Also, be sure to wear a lab coat, some goggles, and gloves before dropping in that gummy bear.
