In this deep dive, we explore the volatile history and sophisticated chemistry of one of science's most famous oxidizers: Potassium Chlorate ($KClO_3$). From its disastrous debut during the French Revolution to its modern role in aerospace safety systems, we analyze the molecular physics that make this salt both a danger and a necessity.

We break down the thermodynamics of the "Screaming Gummy Bear" experiment, explain the logic of disproportionation pathways, and compare the historical thermal synthesis to the modern industrial standard of electrolysis.

Note: This video is for educational and historical purposes only. Potassium Chlorate is a regulated precursor. The demonstrations shown were performed by professionals in a controlled laboratory environment. Do not attempt to recreate.
