The reaction between K₂SO₄(aq) and SrI₂(aq) produces KI(aq) and SrSO₄(s) as products.
The reaction is
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s)
To balance the equation both side of the reaction should have same number of atoms in each element.
Right hand side of the reaction has 1 K, 1 I, 1 Sr, 1 S and 4 O atoms while 2 K, 2 I, 1 Sr,1 S and 4 O present in left hand side of the reaction.
Hence, number of I atoms and number of K atoms are not balanced.
To balance the K atoms we should add 2 before KI. Then I atoms will be 2 at the right hand side.
Hence, the balanced reaction equation is
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → 2KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s)

The three concerns that the residents of this area might be:
1) <span>The cost of not moving forward is extremely high, so they opposed the plan, as they think it would affect US economy
2) </span><span>Nuclear waste disposal capability is an environmental imperative, so their environment would be polluted by very radioactive materials.
3) </span>Demand for new nuclear plants also demands disposal capability which supports national security but again, their site will be no longer for them. But unfortunately, <span>Extensive studies consistently show Yucca Mountain to be a sound site for nuclear waste disposal so the plan can't be abolished.
Hope this helps!</span>
