Gummy Bear Burns with Pink Flames? Crazy oxidation reduction REDOX Chemistry!
This video will demonstrate the reaction of simple candies with KClO4. This is an oxidation reaction / reduction reaction (REDOX reaction). Oxidation is the gain of oxygen, the loss of hydrogen or the loss of electrons. Reduction is the loss of oxygen, the gain of hydrogen or the gain of electrons.
If a reagent is oxidizing it gains an oxygen and is said to be oxidized.
If a reagent is reducing it is losing oxygen and is said to be reduced.
In this reaction the oxidation chemistry involves sugar and the reduction chemistry involves potassium chlorate (KClO4). The sugar is oxidizing while the KClO4 is reducing.
During your chemistry classes see if you can identify oxidation and reduction reaction and identify which reactants are going through an oxidation and which reactants are going through a reduction.
This reaction generates KCl, CO2, H2O and a lot of heat! The sugar in the candies will burn with a pink flame as a result of the presence of the potassium ion (K+).
