Safety match heads contain minuscule amounts of potassium chlorate, as an oxidizer. When a match is struck, the friction generated between the match head and the box is sufficient to ignite the red phosphorus. Again sufficient heat is generated to prompt the decomposition of the potassium chlorate in the head. At this point the extra oxygen aids the fuel in the match stick and the wood itself catches fire.

What chemicals are used in match sticks and side effects?
The friction strike anywhere match has active ingredients in the match head of phophorus sesquisulfide, P4S3 (which initiates combustion) and potassium chlorate as an additional oxidant. The safety match has red phosphorus (allotrope of phosphorus) on the box with abrasive and binding agents, and potassium chlorate in the head with various binders.
How many moles of potassium chlorate must be used to produce 6 moles if oxygen gas?
Four moles of potassium chlorate are needed.
How many moles potassium chlorate must be used to produce 6 moles of oxygen gas?
We need 3 moles of potassium perchlorate.
How do you make kclo3?
There is no way that pure chemicals can be mixed together easily to make KClO3, but it is alot easier to do so with match heads. Cut the heads off of as many matches as you can. Put them in a beaker with water and boil then until the paste is gone from the wood. Filter the mixture with coffee paper a few times which will remove the wood, sulfur and other non-soluble ingredients . Whats left will be the Potassium (per)chlorate solution. Now just boil this down so there is a small amount of water left then let it sit so the rest of the water will evaporate. Potassium Chlorate. It is commonly used with other chemicals as a flammable or explosive mixture.
What non metal used to be found in match heads?
Phosphorus

Decomposition of potassium chlorate to potassium chloride?
Potassium chlorate contains potassium, chlorine, and oxygen. It is used in safety matches, explosives, as an oxidizing agent, to prepare oxygen, and as a disinfectant.

How many moles of potassium chlorate must be used to produce 6 moles of oxygen gas?
2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2For every 3 moles of oxygen gas produced, 2 moles of potassium chlorate are used.6 moles O2 * (2 moles KClO3 reacted / 3 moles O2 produced) = 4 moles KClO3
What is potassium hypochlorite?
Potassium Chlorite formula is K(ClO2) and for more information about the chemical search for potassium chlorate instead.
What non metal used to be found in match heads?
Phosphorus
What element is used in match heads and fungicides?
sulfur is the element that is used in insecticides.
Are oxidizers explosive?
The most common oxidisers used in fireworks are: Potassium nitrate, KNO3 Barium nitrate, Ba(NO3)2 Strontium nitrate, Sr(NO3)2 Sodium nitrate, NaNO3 Potassium chlorate, KClO3 Potassium perchlorate, KClO4 Ammonium perchlorate, NH4ClO4
