  • Calculating Atoms in a Chemical Formula: 4KOH
    Here's how to determine the number of atoms in 4KOH:

    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.
