Magic fire

Imagine you are a magician. So you want to show some magics in front of your friends.
But here we are discussing about science. So i can help you to doing science magics.


In front of your friends you are taking some black powder in a small paper container  and tell them loudly it is ordinary stone powder.
After   pour some water into the container. Suddenly fumes will be coming out  and the paper container starts to burning.

Wow!  How?


Do you want to show this science magic?
If yes buy a small bottles of glycerin (liquid)  and a small amount of potassium permanganate powder.

Actually the black powder is potassium permanganate and the liquid is glycerin.
If you combine glycerin and potassium permanganate oxidation reaction will take place and it will produce flame.

Check in some standard chemistry book what is oxidation reaction and in this reaction how flames coming out.


One  important thing  before doing this experiment you must beware of the fire and its consequences. and also take permission from your parents.
