K2so4 is a strong electrolyte. determine the concentration of each of the individual ions in a 0.600 m k2so4 solution.

Potassium sulfate or K₂SO₄ is a strong electrolyte which means that it will completely dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. The dissociation reaction is as follows:

K₂SO₄ → 2K⁺ + SO₄²⁻

This means that the dissociation of 1 mol of K₂SO₄ solution will yield 2 moles of K⁺ and 1 mole of SO₄²⁻. Molarity is a measure of concentration defined as moles divided by the volume of solution. In this case, given that the volume is constant, from stoichiometry, the concentration of K⁺ ions would be twice of 0.600 M which is 1.200 M. On the other hand, the concentration of SO₄²⁻ is 0.600 M by stoichiometry.
