Not Telling
I'm new to making my own explosives, so I thought it would be a smart move to check if my basic Chemistry is right before starting anything.
So I wanted to do something simple with Sodium Chlorate.
Formula 1:
Sodium Chlorate + Aluminum
Na(ClO3) + 2 Al -> NaCl + Al2O3
Filling their molar masses in, I get to the ratio:
40 Sodium Chlorate
60 Aluminum powder
Formula 2:
Sodium Chlorate + Sugar
Na(ClO3) + C12H22O11 -> 8NaCl + 12CO2 + 11H2O
71 Sodium Chlorate
29 Sugar
So, is my theory correct? Or are there other factors I've overseen.
