Correct answer
Explanation
The formula KCI represents potassium chloride (KCl), a salt composed of potassium and chlorine. It's widely used as a fertilizer, in medical treatments for electrolyte imbalances, and as a salt substitute. The chemical notation shows K (potassium) bonded with Cl (chlorine), though sometimes written with a lowercase 'l' appearing as 'I'.
