the formula of the compounds?
sodium hypochlorite = NaOCl
sodium chlorate = NaClO3
which of these has a greater % oxygen composition?
Just looking at the formulas, you can see that sodium chlorate has three times as much oxygen as sodium hypochlorite.
How many percent? [percent of what?]
NaOCl = 74.4422 g/mol
O = 15.99943 g/mol
(15.99943 g/mol) / (74.4422 g/mol) = 0.214924 = 21.4924% O in NaOCl
NaClO3 = 106.441 g/mol
O3 = 47.9982 g/mol
(47.9982 g/mol) / (106.441 g/mol) = 0.450937 = 45.0937% O in NaClO3
