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.

How many moles of H2O are in 64.0 g of H2O

Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

stoichiometry of C₂H₂ to H₂O is 2:2.

Number of moles of C₂H₂ = molar mass of C₂H₂

Since the molar mass of C₂H₂ is 26 g/mol.

Number of C₂H₂ moles reacted = 64.0 g / 26 g/mol = 2.46 mol.

according to a molar ratio of 2:2.

the number of H₂O moles formed = a number of C₂H₂ moles reacted.

Therefore the number of H₂O moles produced = 2.46 mol
