How do i identify the ions present in k2hpo4?

In any compound there are two types of ions are present, cations and anions. Cations are positively charged ions and formed by losing electrons and anions are formed by gaining electrons and are negatively charged ions.
So, in K₂HPO₄, there are positive charged and negative charged ions are present. so there is K⁺ ion and HPO₄⁻² ion is present in K₂HPO₄

Answer:

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

explanation:

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.

Ions gain or lose electrons
