Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the molecular mass of potassium chlorate (KClO3). To solve this, we will sum up the atomic masses of all the atoms in the chemical formula (1 potassium atom, 1 chlorine atom, and 3 oxygen atoms).
Answer
122.55 g/mol
The final answer is 122.55 g/mol
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is 122.55 g/mol
More Information
Potassium chlorate is commonly used in laboratories to produce oxygen gas through thermal decomposition.
Tips
Ensure accurate addition of the atomic masses. Common mistakes include forgetting to multiply the atomic mass of oxygen by 3.
