I hope I'm not too late in answering Potassium sulphate-K(2)SO(4).Please see those are subscripts I can't make them smaller. So K(2)SO(4)=2K(+) + SO(4)(2-).I hope you understand what I'm typing. 4-subscript 2- superscript. So in all 3 ions two from K(+) and one from SO4 so it's 3 moles The equation is written like http://www.mylot.com/w/image/2033655.aspx. see the image please
