Expert Solution
Step 1

2.

We have to answer the following questions

  1. Write the formula of the potassium hypochlorite.
  2. Determine the molecular weight (molar mass) of potassium hypochlorite.
  3. Calculate the number of moles of potassium hypochlorite in 78.54 grams of the compound.
  4. Calculate the total number of atoms of oxygen in 78.54 grams of potassium hypochlorite. 

 

N.B.: According to the Bartleby Q&A guidelines, we have to answer only the first question (more specifically the first three subparts). So, dear kindly post the remaining questions.
