[neact] Re: potassium chlorate and gummi bear

 I agree with you Lois.  There are much better, greener and safer ways to teach 
chemistry and the "go boom" stuff should be avoided.

There are several You tube versions of this. I show the video and explain that 
I'm an olld poop who is exceptionally safety conscious. I prefer environmental 
chem over uncontrolled exothermic reactions.


 


I have seen this done in an ignition tube with a 5 ft flame shooting out the 
end.

Has any one done this?

I apologize for this listing: I usually read the notices I read with a more 
critical eye before sending them to the list-serve. I guess the holiday season 
highs made me miss this. The response I got indicates how shop you guys are. 

 

Sorry, and Happy New Year.
