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 much potassium chlorate is in a gummy bear?

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.


What are the stabilities of potassium chlorate?

Just keep that stuff away from things that could burn (clothing, paper, sugar, etc) and keep it away from all heat sources. It could turn molten, and molten potassium chlorate is a thousand times more reactive and very nasty.


Can potassium chlorate react with glucose?
