What is the difference between potassium chloride and potassium nitrate?

The difference between potassium nitrate and potassium sulphate is that the potassium nitrate is superior to potassium sulphate. The potassium nitrate has high solubility while the potassium sulphate has moderate solubility.


How do smoke bombs work?

Smoke bombs work by producing a large amount of colored smoke when ignited. This is typically achieved by combining a chemical dye with a fuel source, such as potassium nitrate, sugar, and sulfur. Once lit, the dye and fuel react to create a thick smoke that is released into the air, creating visual effects for various purposes like signaling, entertainment, or military applications.


What temperature does potassium nitrate burn?

I don't know for sure, but I melted a beer can with a smoke bomb. The aluminium actually evaporated (if that's even possible) as there was nothing left of the can. So well over 660 degrees.


Does potassium dissolved in water conduct electricity?

Yes, potassium ions are charged particles that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water, making it an electrolyte. The presence of free-moving charged particles allows for the flow of electric current through the solution.


What is the reaction between kno3 and sugar?

The chemical reaction is 5 C12H22O11 + 48 KNO3 ---> 24 K2CO3 + 36 CO2 + 55 H2O + 24 N2When Sugar and KNO3 are mixed, melted, and ignited, The KNO3 releases Oxygen and becomes KNO2 (Potassium Nitrite). It is the oxygen that causes rapid combustion of the sugar, making a considerable amount of smoke. But most of this "Smoke" is steam due to the rapidly combusting sugar's flame, heating the water molecules around it to a certain point of it boiling.

How do you make a smoke bomb without using potassium nitrate?

vinegar and baking soda will smoke up when combined, but don't breath it in. It will also unclog a sink.

Why is black powder smoke white?

Black powder is composed of a mixture of potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur. When ignited, it undergoes combustion, producing hot gases and solid particles. The white smoke produced is primarily due to the potassium nitrate decomposing and releasing nitrogen dioxide, which then reacts with moisture in the air to form small water droplets, creating the appearance of white smoke.


What materials are needed to make a smoke bomb?

The are a few ways to make a smoke bomb and depending on the method chosen, the materials will vary. One way requires the following products; sugar, potassium nitrate, skillet and aluminum foil.
