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⁻

Consider the following mechanism: O3 => O2 + O NO + O => NO2 What is the role of O2? A. intermediate B. catalyst C. reacta

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Step 1: $O_3\rightarrow O_2+O$

Step 2: $NO+O\rightarrow NO_2$

Overall reaction can be determined by adding all the reactions of mechanism:

$O_3+NO\rightarrow O_2+NO_2$

Reactants in an overall reaction = $O_3\& NO$

Products in an overall reaction = $O_2\& NO_2$

According to question , the role of oxygen gas is product.
