Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Potassium chlorate?
The molar mass of Potassium chlorate (KClO3) is 122.545 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 5 atoms in one formula unit: 3 × 15.999 + 1 × 39.098 + 1 × 35.450 = 122.545.
What is the molecular weight of Potassium chlorate?
122.545 — the same number as the molar mass, but as a dimensionless ratio rather than in g/mol. The two terms describe the same arithmetic, so a molecular weight of 122.55 and a molar mass of 122.55 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Potassium chlorate?
100 ÷ 122.545 = 0.8160 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Potassium chlorate?
By mass, Potassium chlorate is 39.17% oxygen, 31.91% potassium, 28.93% chlorine. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 122.545.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Potassium chlorate?
5: 3 oxygen, 1 potassium, 1 chlorine. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Potassium chlorate contains 5 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
