Hey guys. I have a chemistry project due soon and I am doing a potassium nitrate + sucrose reaction to make a "smoke bomb". I have done the reaction and everything but I need to explain what exactly is going on in the reaction and determine the complete balanced formula equasion. I have searched trying to find this but I can't seem to find anything relevant.
Here is a link to the reaction that I am doing
