So, do you think water puts out fires? You wrong! water can ignite fire.
Mixture: ammonium nitrate + ammonium chloride + iodine + zinc dust.
When a drop or two of water is added, the ammonium nitrate forms nitric acid which reacts with the zinc to produce hydrogen and heat. The heat vaporizes the iodine (giving off purple smoke) and the ammonium chloride (becomes purple when mixed with iodine vapor). It will ignite the hydrogen and begin
burning.
Ammonium nitrate: 8 grams
Ammonium choride: 1 gram
Zinc dust : 8 grams
Iodine crystals : 1 gram
