Instant Fire. Potassium chlorate, KClO 3, is a white, crystalline or powdery solid which is a very good oxidizing agent; it is used in explosives, fireworks, matches, etc. When it decomposes under heating (especially in the presence of a manganese catalyst), it releases molecular oxygen, O 2 : 2KClO 3 (s) â.
The metal belongs to the alkali group on the periodic table. Light enough to float on water, potassium has an instant reaction when it comes into contact with the fluid. Adding potassium to water causes an instant chemical reaction that results in the temperature of the metal rising so high that it ignites. Hydrogen gas from the reaction coming into contact with oxygen in the air is what causes the potassium to catch fire. The metal then glows with a pale, lilac flame. The chemical reaction of potassium with water forms a potassium hydroxide solution that has no color along with the hydrogen gas.
