Concept explainers
Interpretation :
Moles of ions must be chosen from the given list when 2 moles of sodium sulfate are dissolved in water.
Concept Introduction :
Aqueous solution of sodium sulfate is a strong electrolyte which dissociates completely to produce 2 moles of sodium ions and 1 mol of sulfate ion.
Answer to Problem 2STP
Correct answer: Option C is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: Option C is correct because 2 moles of sodium sulfate produces 4 moles of sodium ions and 2 moles of sulfate ions. Thus total moles of ions are 6.
Reasons for incorrect options: Option A is incorrect as 2 moles sodium sulfate will not produce total 2 moles of ions.
Option B is incorrect as 2 moles sodium sulfate will not produce total 6 moles of ions.
Option D is incorrect as 2 moles sodium sulfate will not produce total 15 moles of ions.
