    Theory

    A smoke bomb is a firework designed to produce smoke upon


    ignition. Smoke bombs are useful to military units, self-defense
    and pranks. The smoke bomb was first created in 1848, by the
    inventor Robert Yale. Colored smoke devices use a formula that
    consists of an oxidizer (typically potassium chlorate, KClO3), a
    fuel (generally sugar), a moderate (such as sodium bicarbonate) to
    keep the reaction from getting too hot, and a powdered organic
    dye for color. The burning of this mixture evaporates the dye and
    forces it out of the device, where it condenses in the atmosphere
    to form a "smoke" of finely dispersed particles.
    Procedure

     1. Pour about 3 parts potassium nitrate to 2


    parts sugar into the skillet (5:3 ratio is also
    good). Measurements don't need to be exact, but
    you want more KNO3 than sugar. For example,
    you can use 1-1/2 cups KNO3 and 1 cup sugar. If
    you use equal amounts of KNO3 and sugar, your
    smoke bomb will be harder to light and will burn
    more slowly. As you approach the 5:3 KNO3 :
    sugar ratio, you get a smoke bomb that burns
    more quickly
    Equation

    48KNO3 + 5C12H22O11 24K2CO3 + 24N2 + 36CO2 + 55H2O
