They can grow fungus and they emit carbon
<span>The chemical formula is pretty straightforward. 2KOH reacts to produce H2O and K2O. This is the balanced chemical reaction between: Solid potassium hydroxide koh decomposing into gaseous water and solid potassium.</span>
Answer:
This question is incomplete, however, the unknown compound can be inferred to be "Lithium Bromide"
Explanation:
The unknown compound firstly is said to be an ionic compound. An ionic/electrovalent compound is a compound in which it's constituent ions transfer/receive electron(s). They are mostly made of group 1 and group 7 elements. Examples include NaCl, NaF, LiF and KCl.
Also, the ion (metallic ion) that produces a red flame test colour in a flame test is the <u>Lithium ion (Li⁺).</u> Also, when dissolved in water or hexane, the only halogen that produces a red/orange colour is bromine. Hence, the unknown ionic compound can be inferred to be Lithium Bromide.
