Answer:

K₂S(s) → 2K⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq)

Explanation:

A strong electrolyte is a compound that, in solution, dissociates completely. For a compound XₐYₙ that dissolves in water:

XₐYₙ(s) → aXⁿ⁺(aq) + nYᵃ⁻(aq)

Now, potassium sulfide (K₂S), as a strong electrolyte dissolves in water thus:

<em>K₂S(s) → 2K⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq)</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Which substance has the highest melting point?
Andre45 [30]
<span>A.H2O = water, so it is a liquid at room temperatures (melting point = 0C) and melting point must be below 20C

B.HCl = A gas at room temperatures, so melting point (-114C) is definitely lower than 20C.
Melting points of the aqueous solution (solution in water) at different concentrations are all below that of water, i.e. 0C.

C.CH4 = A gas at room temperatures, so melting point (-182C) must be below 20C.

D.MgCl2 = A white powdery solid at room temperatures, so its melting point (714C) must be above 20C (So this is the only one among the four choices that melts above 20 &deg; C).</span>
