Explanation:

Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) is the common name for ammonium dodecyl sulfate (CH3(CH2)10CH2OSO3NH4). The anion consists of a nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and a polar sulfate end group. The combination of nonpolar and polar groups confers surfactant properties to the anion: it facilitates the dissolution of both polar and non-polar materials. ALS is classified as a sulfate ester. It is found primarily in shampoos and body wash as a foaming agent. Lauryl sulfates are very high-foam surfactants that disrupt the surface tension of water in part by forming micelles at the surface-air interface.

One kilogram is equal to one thousand grams. Further, one gram is equal to 1000 mg. The conversion is as shown below,
                    (6.285 x 10³ mg) x (1 g / 1000 mg) x (1 kg / 1000 g)
The numerical value of the operation above is 0.006285 kg.
