Question

Determine the number of ions produced in the dissociation of the compound listed. BaS

Answer 1

BaS → Ba²⁺ + S²⁻
two types of ions

Answer 2

Answer : The number of ions produced in the dissociation of the compound BaS are, two.

Explanation :

Dissociation reaction : It is defined as the chemical reaction in which a compound breaks into two or more ions.

The general representation of reaction is :

`AB\rightarrow A+B`

The dissociation reaction of the given compound will be,

`BaS\rightarrow Ba^(2+)+S^(2-)`

From the reaction we conclude that, there are two ion are produced in the dissociation of BaS compound which are,
`Ba^(2+)` ion and
`S^(2-)` ion.

Hence, the number of ions produced in the dissociation of the compound BaS are, two.
