A mix of 70% iodate - just 400mg total again was considerably more energetic - it lit easily, burnt much more quickly and bordered on a report. The
pan even rattled ( it is only thin steel).
I'm not that experienced with perchlorate flash mix - would that have been similarly energetic at such a quantity?
Trying to get my head around the chemistry - presumably I'm getting KI which with the heat gets oxidised to iodine and what? Potassium oxide?
