Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given compound is $K_{2}SO_{4}$ , that is, it contains potassium $(K^{+})$ and sulphate $(SO^{2-}_{4})$ ions.

Charge on a sulphate ion is -2 and charge on two potassium ions is +2. Therefore, according to cross multiplication method it results in the formation of $K_{2}SO_{4}$ .

Thus, we can conclude that chemical name of the compound is potassium sulfate.

Answer: Temperature and number of moles are the conditions which remain constant in Boyle's law.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume of gas.

Mathematically, it is represented as follows.

$P \propto \frac{1}{V}$

As equation for ideal gas is as follows.

PV = nRT

And, at constant temperature the pressure is inversely proportional to volume which also means that number of moles are also constant in Boyle's law.

Thus, we can conclude that temperature and number of moles are the conditions which remain constant in Boyle's law.

Why ammonium is not a molecular ion

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Ammonium $(NH_{4}^+)$ is not a molecular ion because it is just a poly-atomic ion. A molecular ion has a "negative or positive charge" as a whole but the positive charge on here is not on the whole. So, it is a poly-atomic ion and not molecular ion.
