Chemistry Question...Rx products?

Ok, some of you I'm sure know what this is but I'd like to know exactly what the products are before trying it...just to be safe.
Mix KNO3 + C6H12O6 and when burned you get what?

I'm fairly sure CO2, H2O and NO2 are products but dont know what else comes out of it...
lmk if anyone can tell me the products...

(mods if this isn't allowed sorry but i haven't run across anything to say its banned)
 
Do you have a balanced equation written out yet? Where did the potassium go? I"ll take a look at it for a minute but you're going to need to do that stuff.......
 
thats what my question is...im not sure what all the products are...ive only taken chem I so far in HS and dont know how else to find the products. now if someone told me what the products would be then i could balance it easily but i dunno how to find the products...hopin a chem whiz hangs around AT 😉
 
[edit] OK, I'm actually trying to figure this out. I remember from HS that C6H12O6 is Glucose (Sugar)!! Yay, it's a start [/edit]

[edit #2] This is what I found: H2O + CO2 + NO + K2O
So you're trying to burn Potassium Nitrate and Glucose....kind of a weird scenario considering Potassium Nitrate is used in gun powder. Well, whatever floats your boat I guess 🙂 [/edit #2]
