Also did i mention all of this is toxic?
When mixed with sugar, (Which happened in the video) KCO3 becomes KClO3, which is not toxic. When looking at the NFPA 704 label, it is set like so:

0
1 3
0x

In a NFPA 704 label, blue means health, red means flammability, and yellow mean reactivity. The higher the number, the worse it is.


  • Health is a 1, so it means:


Exposure would cause irritation with only minor residual injury.


  • Flammability is 0, so its not all that flammable.



  • Reactivity is 3, so it means:


Capable of detonation or explosive decomposition but requires a strong initiating source, must be heated under confinement before initiation, reacts explosively with water, or will detonate if severely shocked

This stuff is not toxic, but very sensitive to heat. I'm not saying you should pull it and breath this crap, but it won't do much damage to you. Just a lot of coughing. ;)


Got my facts from my chemistry/biology/physics/human anatomy teacher.
