 I like the Chlorine Tablets and Vegi Oil smoke bombs the best because pound for pound they produce way more smoke then the others

If you think you can top the Chlorine Tablets and Vegi Oil smoke bombs let me know. O yea there are some down falls of using chlorine smoke bombs.... the smoke is EXTEMLY TOXIC and when mixing chlorine tablets and oraganic compounds ( desiel, oil, rubber alcohol, etc...) a Hypergolic solution is formed

does anyone know the equation for KNO3 AND SUCROSE SMOKE BOMBS ARE?

About smoke bombs...
Using reaction stoichiometry you can find the amount of KNO₃ needed to combust Sucrose, or C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁. First, find the number of moles of O₂ needed to combust 1 mole of sucrose.
C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (sucrose) + 12O₂ --> 12CO₂ + 11H₂O
So you need 12 moles of O₂ to combust 1 mole of sucrose.
Potassium Nitrate, or KNO₃ usually decomposes to give off 1 mole of O₂ for every mole of KNO₃ according to the following reaction...
KNO₃ + heat --> KNO + O₂
So you need 12 moles of KNO₃ to combust 1 mole of sucrose (12 moles of oxygen needed to combust sucrose divided by the 1 mole of oxygen each mole of potassium nitrate gives off)
12 moles of KNO₃ is about 1213.2 grams and 1 mole of sucrose is about 342.0 grams. So a 1213.2 : 342.0 ratio (Potassium nitrate : Sucrose) is optimal for a smoke bomb.
