I need help with the chemistry of a smoke bomb
« on: May 26, 2007, 03:23:29 PM »
What is KNO3 + C12H22O11 ----> ?

I also need to explain the chemistry of it, but I don't know what I should explain. All I have so far is that KNO3 is the oxidizer.

After you think about Borek's question, do a search of the forums. We have talked about smoke bombs/grenades a bunch of times.
