Answer:

Potassium cation = K⁺²

Explanation:

The metal cation in K₂SO₄ is K⁺². While the anion is SO₄²⁻.

All the metals have tendency to lose the electrons and form cation. In given compound the metal is potassium so it should form the cation. The overall compound is neutral.

The charge on sulfate is -2. While the oxidation state of potassium is +1. So in order to make compound overall neutral there should be two potassium cation so that potassium becomes +2 and cancel the -2 charge on sulfate and make the charge on compound zero.

2K⁺²  ,  SO₄²⁻

K₂SO₄

What would be the pH of 0.00050 M HCl
kumpel [21]

Answer:

pH= 3.30

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that completely dissociates in water.

For a 0.00050 M HCl solution the concentration of the hydrogen ions,  [ H + ]

, is 0.00050 moles/liter (i.e. 0.025 M).

The pH is defined as  − log [ H + ] .

Substituting 0.00050 into the equation for pH we find that the 0.00050 M HCl solution has a pH of -log(0.00050) = 3.30.

any time an energy conversion takes place, some of the original energy is converted to which one of the following?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Thermal energy.

Explanation:

Anytime energy transfers between 2 places or things some of it is 'wasted' as thermal energy (heat). This could be by friction or a change in temperature from a reaction. We say it is wasted because this heat energy serves no purpose.

When PCl5 solidifies it forms PCl4+ cations and PCl6– anions. According to valence bond theory, what hybrid orbitals are used by
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

sp³

Explanation:

Number of hybrid orbitals = ( V + S - C + A ) / 2

Where

H is the number of hybrid orbitals

V is the valence electrons of the central atom = 5

S is the number of single valency atoms = 4

C is the number of cations = 1

A is the number of anions = 0

For PCl₄⁺

Applying the values, we get:

H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2

= 4

<u>This corresponds to sp³ hybridization.</u>
