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.
oxidizer for the sulfur and phosphorus fuels.
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.
Four moles of potassium chlorate are needed.
We need 3 moles of potassium perchlorate.
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.

it is used to prepare oxygen
Four moles of potassium chlorate are needed.
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.
We need 3 moles of potassium perchlorate.

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
Potassium Chlorite formula is K(ClO2) and for more information about the chemical search for potassium chlorate instead.

sulfur is the element that is used in insecticides.
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
