Is methane harmful in any way?

Methane is extremely flammable and may form explosive mixtures with air. Methane is violently reactive with oxidizers, halogens, and some halogen-containing compounds. Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space.

What safety precautions should you take when using oxidizers?

When using oxidizers, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Ensure good ventilation in the area where oxidizers are being used to prevent exposure to fumes. Store oxidizers away from flammable materials and follow strict handling and storage guidelines to prevent accidental reactions or spills that could lead to a fire or explosion.

How do oxidizers work in chemical reactions?

Oxidizers work in chemical reactions by accepting electrons from other substances, causing them to be oxidized. This process can lead to the release of energy and the formation of new chemical compounds.


What does potassium chlorate produce if it decomposes?

Potassium Chlorate does not decompose on its own, it needs to be mixed with other compounds in order for it to decompose, however this is very dangerous because the mixture is very explosive and very sensitive, which means if you accidentally stepped on it or impacted it , it will go off giving you some serious injuries. If you ever worked in a lab or if you have ever seen the Potassium Chlorate bottles, they are usually written "Mixing with Oxidizers may be explosive" sometimes it just says "Do not mix with oxidizers" these are the warnings you would get on the label or MSDS sheets.
