Finding reaction products in reduction chemistry

[sevenperforce]

Contrary to potential appearance, this is not homework. I've been out of college for a long time now. Just working on a project with my kids and I'm trying to approach specific energy of these reduction reactions from the theoretical side, mostly so I know what sort of safety precautions to take.

I can balance the equations and find the bond energies and all that stuff to get an idea of reaction chemistry and specific energy, but only if I already know both sides of the equation. Here are the reagents I'm looking at:

Na₂S₂O₅ + KNO₃ → ?

Na₂S₂O₅ + KNO₃ + Fe₂O₃ → ?

Na₂S₂O₅ + KNO₃ + C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ → ?

KNO₃ + C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ → ?

KNO₃ + C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + Fe₂O₃ → ?

Na₂S₂O₅ + KNO₃ + C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + Fe₂O₃ → ?

I know that Na₂S₂O₅ + KNO₃ can react to form Na₂S0₄ + KNO + S0₃ and that KNO₃ + C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ will produce CO₂ and H₂O but I don't know exactly where the potassium and nitrogen end up in the latter reaction. I suspect that the water and sulfur trioxide could then react as well, though I don't know whether the sulfur would act to poison the other parts of the reaction. And I have no idea what the Fe₂O₃ would do to it all.

And before anyone asks: yes, I know that numerous sulfur oxides and a lot of other potential byproducts are toxic. Necessary precautions will be taken.

mostly so I know what sort of safety precautions to take.

Take the same precautions as for gunpowder.

But I don't know exactly where the potassium and nitrogen end up in the latter reaction.

Just expect the most stable compounds: N₂ and K₂O or K₂S.

And I have no idea what the Fe2O3 would do to it all.

It's a redox catalyst.
