Four ways to make fire using chemical reactions. No matches or lighter are needed to start the fire.
Chemical Fire #1
- Add a few drops of glycerin to a few crystals of potassium permagnate. Accelerate the reaction by adding a couple of drops of water.
Chemical Fire #2
- Soak a tissue with acetone to make it more flammable. Draw sulfuric acid into a glass pipette. Dip the pipette into potassium permagnate so that the tip of the pipette is coated with a few crystals. Dispense the sulfuric acid onto the tissue. The potassium permagante and sulfuric acid mix to produce manganese heptoxide and fire.
Chemical Fire #3
- Mix a small amount of sodium chlorate and sugar. Initiate the reaction by adding a few drops of sulphuric acid.
Chemical Fire #4
- Mix together a small amount of amonium nitrate powder and zinc powder. Add hydrochloric acid.
