Potassium chlorate (KClO3) is neither an acid nor a base. It is actually a salt that is formed from a strong base (KOH) and a strong acid (HClO3).
KClO3 (potassium chlorate) is a chemical salt. It is neither and acid nor an alkali.,
Neither, HClO3 is chloric acid. It is a strong acid. An electrolyte constitutes a strong base and a strong acid reacting in a neutralization equation. Like so... NaOH + HCl >>> NaCl + H2O A neutralization reaction prodces a salt (electrolyte) and water from an acid and a base coming together. However, a salt can be acidic, basic, or neutral -strong base with a strong acid=neutral -strong base with a weak acid= basic -weak base with a strong acid= acidic -weak base with a weak acid = neutral stronger dominates the weaker think of it like this. two people fight, if I pit a strong guy and a puny weakling the strong guy should win. However, if I pit a weakling with a weakling; the fight theoretically is never going to get anywhere. They will NEUTRALIZE each other. Same with a strong to strong. Other examples of electrolytes would be NaCN, KCl, NH4Br, etc.
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
The percent of oxygen in KClO3 is 48.4%. This can be calculated by dividing the molar mass of oxygen in KClO3 (48 g/mol) by the molar mass of KClO3 (122.55 g/mol) and multiplying by 100%.
Acetamide is a weak base. It can undergo protonation to form the conjugate acid, acetic acid, in acidic solutions.
