Potassium chlorate contains oxygen atoms. These allow the sugar in the Gummi Bear to burn.
Uh you got it a bit mixed up in there. Gummy bears don't contain Potassium Chlorate they contain sugar, so when you drop a sugar-rich candy into molten Postassium Chlorate it will explode.
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).
Gummy bears have a gelatin base. Any liquid would cause them to swell, not just Sierra Mist.
gelatin sucks! (gummy bears have gelatin!)
Gummy bears get bigger in Sprite due to osmosis, a process where water moves across a semipermeable membrane. When gummy bears are placed in Sprite, the sugar and other ingredients in the soft candy draw water from the carbonated beverage, causing the bears to swell as they absorb the liquid. This results in the gummy bears expanding in size as they retain the added moisture.
Some popular types of candies with liquid juice filling include gummy bears with juice inside, fruit gushers, and fruit snacks with liquid centers.
The same thing would happen if you left them in any liquid. They would absorb some of the liquid and swell. They are a gelatin base.

Gummy bears are all made out of the same thing corn syrup, water, sugar, coloring, and gelatin. The gelatin in the gummy bear acts like a sponge and makes the gummy bears absorb water. If you place gummy bears in water they all will swell over time.
Gummi bears swell up when soaked in any liquid for a period of time. Apple juice may speed up this process due to the acidity levels in the juice which can cause an increase in the speed of a reaction. A gummi bear swells up with liquid because the gelatin in the bears allow liquid to be absorbed and when liquid is absorbed, it increases volume --> size gets bigger.
There is no such as thing as a koala bear. It is just known as a koala, and has no connection to bears whatsoever. They could be said to be specialised as their diet consists mainly of eucalyptus leaves. Some do not even drink water, getting their liquid requirements for the eucalyptus leaves.
Yes, Black Bears, Grizzly Bears, and Brown Bears, but no Polar Bears.
