When 2 moles of k3po4 is dissolved in water, how many moles of ions are produced? for your answer do not put units, just the numeric value.

8 moles of ions are produced when is dissolved in water.

Explanation: When is dissolved in water, ionization reaction takes place. The reaction follows:

By stoichiometry,

1 mole of produces 3 moles of and 1 mole of

So, 2 moles of will produce (2 ×3) = 6 moles of and (2 × 1) = 2 moles of

Hence, total moles of ions produced = ( 6 + 2 ) = 8 moles of ions.
