What kind of cool designs can you make? If you do this experiment at home, show it off! Try making a trail of gunpowder like in the cartoons.
Add oats and continue beating until well mixed. The potassium nitrate crystallizes while the ammonium chloride remains a liquid. In a separate bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat together butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs. We are inducing the two chemicals to exchange ions so that ammonium nitrate and potassium chloride become potassium nitrate and ammonium chloride. Chemically, the equation looks like this:Įssentially, what we are doing is switching around the compound words in the chemicals. In making saltpeter, we combined ammonium nitrate from the cold pack with potassium chloride from the salt substitute. Mad Fire The best chemistry experiments are those you can perform with items already laying around your house. In this equation, C12H22O11 is the sugar, which burns by reacting with the oxygen to create carbon dioxide and water. Light using a long match and revel in the power now at your command! The chemical reaction for the burning of sugar by the body is shown through the chemical equation C12H22O11 (s) + 12 O2 (g) > 12 CO2 (g) + 11 H2O (l).
The thing is, marshmallows don't explode. A flaming marshmallow is another good example of burning sugar. Anyone who's had a bad experience caramelizing a crme brle can attest to that. Take a small spoonful of your gunpowder and place it on a nonflammable surface outdoors away from sentient creatures and trees. So how can sugar explode Chris Butler/Aurora/ Getty Images Though you may not normally think about it, one of sugar's properties is that it is flammable.
