Dancing Gummy Bear Experiment- Potassium Chlorate
24
Conclusion
Potassium Chlorate is a chemical just like the other two, that has its own personal uses in which we apply to everyday life. It is important because it is the reason that some citizens have jobs today. Its use in the industrial field helps to make up only part of the fields population, that may also include those who are pyrotechnics. Plus, it is also in matches, grenades, and is a great oxidizing agent. Proven not nearly as much as it is proven to work in industrially, it helps out nature. With this chemical, Kohala longan trees were able to induce fruit production.

What is Potassium Chlorate?
Potassium Chlorate is a chemical made up of three other respective elements- Potassium, Chlorine, and Oxygen. These elements were then chemically combined to make this chemical, to produce a white, crystallized powder. Potassium chlorate also has other uses as well. Potassium chlorate was also a key chemical in the production of fireworks. Also, it is also said that potassium chlorate, when added to soil, induced fruit production of the Kohala longan trees. Aside from that, it is the most common chlorate to be used industrially.
KClO3
KClO3 (s) + heat ---> KClO3 (l)
Under heat/warming up
2KClO3 (l) ----> 2KCl (s) + 302 (g)
C6Hl2O6 (s) ----> l202 (g) ---> l2CO2 (g) + llH2O
Lastly, the decomposition of C6Hl2O6 starts and it turns into pure carbon and water. This is also known as caramelization.

Potassium Chlorate's states of matter
In its purest form, potassium chlorate is a white, crystalline substance. Its melting point is 672.8°F (356°C). Potassium Chlorate's boiling point is 752°F (400°C).
This experiment was tested in order to see just how much energy is located in carbohydrates.
Students/ teachers add potassium chlorate to oxidized gummy bears and add the smallest amount of heat in order to get the potassium chlorate to liquidize.
procedure:
1-Place a small amount of potassium chlorate in the test tube
2-Securely clamp the test tube with opening pointed in safe direction.
3-Heat the potassium chlorate with the burner until molten.
4-Remove heat source and turn off.
5-With tongs, add a Gummi bear to the molten KClO3
6-Stand back. The reaction will be immediate
