Question

what is the name of this ionic compound?
khso₄
refer to a periodic table and a list of polyatomic ions.
potassium sulfite
krypton hydrogen sulfate
potassium hydrogen sulfate
krypton sulfite

Explanation:

• First, identify the cation. In \(KHSO_4\), the cation is \(K^+\) (potassium ion, not krypton as krypton is a noble gas and not a cation in this context).
• Then, identify the anion. The anion is \(HSO_4^-\) (hydrogen sulfate ion).
• For ionic compounds, the name is written as cation name + anion name.

Answer:

potassium hydrogen sulfate
