Answer:

The two products of this reaction, Sodium Chloride and Potassium Sulfate, are both soluble in water, hence, there's no precipitate formed from this reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sodium sulfate is Na₂So₄

Potassium Chloride is KCl

When they both react, theres a double displacement where ions and radicals are exchanged

Na₂SO₄ + KCl → NaCl + K₂SO₄

The products are

NaCl - Sodium Chloride

K₂SO₄ - Potassium Sulfate

The two products are soluble in water, hence, there's no precipitate formed from this reaction.

And we would need numerical values of the number of moles of the two reactants mixed to obtain the number of moles of products formed and then the number of molecules from Avogadro's constant.

Hope this Helps!!!
