2 answers:
Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The given compound is , that is, it contains potassium
and sulphate
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 .
Thus, we can conclude that chemical name of the compound is potassium sulfate.

Hello!
In this case, since the addition of chloride ions promote the following three ionic reactions:
We can infer that both silver chloride and lead (II) chloride are precipitated products as their Ksp are 6.56x10⁻⁴ and 1.59x10⁻⁵ respectively, which means they are merely soluble in water.

I can't actually answer this one if the empirical formula is not given. Luckily, I've found a similar problem from another website. The problem is shown in the picture attached. It shows that the empirical formula is CH₂O. Let's calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula.
Molar mass of E.F = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30 g/mol
Then, let's divide this to the molar mass of the molecular formula.
Molar mass of M.F/Molar mass of E.F = 180/30 = 6
Therefore, let's multiply 6 to each subscript in the empirical formula to determine the actual molecular formula.
<em>Actual molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆</em>
Molar mass of E.F = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30 g/mol
Then, let's divide this to the molar mass of the molecular formula.
Molar mass of M.F/Molar mass of E.F = 180/30 = 6
Therefore, let's multiply 6 to each subscript in the empirical formula to determine the actual molecular formula.
<em>Actual molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆</em>
