What's the difference between potassium perchlorate and potassium chlorate?

Question

What's the difference between potassium perchlorate and potassium chlorate?

Answer 1

Potassium perchlorate is KClO4 whereas Potassium chlorate is KClO3.

Answer 2

one O atom

:-)

KClO3 is the chlorate, salt of the chloric acid, HClO3. oxidation state of Cl+5.

KClO4 is the perchlorate, salt of perchloric acid HClO4, oxidation state of Cl +7. extremely strong acid, all the salts are mild oxidation agents

Answer 3

Potassium chlorate is a compound containing potassium,chlorine and oxygen, with the chemical formula K[ClO3]. In pure form, it is a white crystalline substance. It is the most common chlorate in industrial use, and is usually present in well-stocked laboratories. It is used:as an oxidizing agent, to prepare oxygen, as a disinfectant, especially in bleach, in safety matches, and in explosives and fireworks.

Potassium perchlorate, chemical formula KClO4, is a strong oxidizer. It is a colorless, crystalline substance that melts at about 610 °C. It is one of the most common oxidizers used in fireworks, ammunition percussion caps, explosive primers, and is used variously in propellants, flash compositions, stars, and sparklers. It has been used as a solid rocket propellant, though in that application it has mostly been replaced by the higher performance ammonium perchlorate. KClO4 has the lowest solubility of all perchlorates (2.08 g KClO4 in 100 g H2O at 25 deg C).It has a molar mass of 138.55 g/mol.
