The chemical formula is KCIO3. If 6832 grams of this compound is on the scales how much does chlorine weigh.

Answer 1

Well we know that the total compound weighs 6832 grams and has a formula of KClO3.

Now how much of that mass is chlorine?

Well we know that it would be proportional to the molar ratio of chlorine in the compound.

To get the molar ratio, divide the molar mass of chlorine in the compound by the total molar mass of the compound.

Then multiply that number by 6,832 grams.
