Question

Write the chemical formula for the cation present in the aqueous solution of cuso4.

Answer 1

The ionic compounds on dissolving in aqueous solution dissociate into their respective ions that are cations and anions.

The ions present in the aqueous solution of $CuSO_4$ are $Cu^{2+}$ and $SO_{4}^{2-}$.

So, the chemical formula of the cation present in the aqueous solution of $CuSO_4$ is $Cu^{2+}$.
