Fluffy pancakes. Baking powder and baking soda. Both of them are used so frequently in quick baking projects that unless you are a recipe developer, rarely do you consider what each of them actually does for your finished product.
Sodium chloride and potassium chloride are ionic compounds. Both are solids, where cations and anions are in a closed packed structure. Sodium and potassium are group 1 metals, which have the capability to make +1 cations.Chloride is the -1 anion made by group 7 element, chlorine.Since group 1 elements are electropositive and group seven elements are electronegative, their electronegativity difference is larger. So they form ionic bonds.odium and potassium are group 1 metals, which have the capability to make +1 cations. Chloride is the -1 anion made by group 7 element, chlorine.

The mass of potassium chloride is 3.8 g. Look at the mole ratio you have between potassium chlorate and potassium chloride; what you will see is that every 2 moles of potassium chlorate will produce 2 moles of potassium chloride, i.e. you have a 1:1 mole ratio between the two compounds.
