Question

Determine the number of ions produced in the dissociation of the compound listed. BaS

Answer 1

BaS → Ba²⁺ + S²⁻
two types of ions

Answer 2

Answer : The number of ions produced in the dissociation of the compound BaS are, two.

Explanation :

Dissociation reaction : It is defined as the chemical reaction in which a compound breaks into two or more ions.

The general representation of reaction is :

$AB\rightarrow A+B$

The dissociation reaction of the given compound will be,

$BaS\rightarrow Ba^{2+}+S^{2-}$

From the reaction we conclude that, there are two ion are produced in the dissociation of BaS compound which are, $Ba^{2+}$ ion and $S^{2-}$ ion.

Hence, the number of ions produced in the dissociation of the compound BaS are, two.
