1. Understand the Formula:
* KOH represents one molecule of potassium hydroxide.
* 4KOH means you have four molecules of potassium hydroxide.
2. Identify the Atoms:
* K represents Potassium (1 atom per molecule)
* O represents Oxygen (1 atom per molecule)
* H represents Hydrogen (1 atom per molecule)
3. Calculate the Total Atoms:
* Per molecule: 1 K + 1 O + 1 H = 3 atoms
* Total atoms: 3 atoms/molecule * 4 molecules = 12 atoms
Therefore, there are 12 atoms in 4KOH.
