Identify the major ionic species present in an aqueous solution of sodium sulfate.

The major ionic species present in the solution are sodium and sulfate ions.

Explanation:

Sodium sulfate is an ionic compound because it is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from sodium ions to sulfate ions.

When an ionic compound is dissolved in water, it dissociates into its corresponding ions.

The chemical equation for the ionization of sodium sulfate follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aqueous solution of sodium sulfate produces 2 moles of sodium ions and 1 mole of sulfate ions.

Hence, the major ionic species present in the solution are sodium and sulfate ions.

the answer would be c

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
