When 1 formula unit of sodium sulfate dissolves, how many ions will there be?
gpt
There will be 3 total ions (2 sodium ions and one sulfate ion).
Explanation: Sodium sulfate has the chemical formula Na2SO4, meaning two sodium atoms and one sulfur atom bond with four oxygen atoms in the sulfate ion. When dissolved, this results in the breakdown into two sodium ions and one sulfate ion.
