I assume you mean potassium chlorate. What exactly is the chemical reaction? Formula? Anyone?
Barbwire, it's explained at Wikipedia -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chlorate
gummy bears are mostly sugar and gum. So various combinations of C H and O (C12H22O11 for sugar). The C becomes CO2. The O and H become H2O and the potassium chlorate becomes a mixture of potassium chloride and chlorite.
How come I don't have 'splosions in my mouth when I'm eating them, then? Am I doing something wrong?
"This one is reacting with potassium chlorate, but approximately the same thing happens with your teeth... "If your teeth are made of gunpowder.
