Answer

a. 1 Eq $K^+$ b. 2 Eq $OH^-$ c. 2 Eq $Ca^{2+}$ d. 6 Eq $C{O_3}^{2-}$

Work Step by Step

1. Identify the absolute value of the charge of each ion. a. 1 b. 1 c. 2 d. 2 2. 1 mole of each compound is equal to "x" Eq of the same compound. In this case, for ions, x is equal to the absolute value of the charge in each ion. a. $1 \space mole \space K^+ = 1 \space Eq \space K^+$ b. $1 \space mole \space OH^- = 1 \space Eq \space OH^-$ c. $1 \space mole \space Ca^{2+} = 2 \space Eq \space Ca^{2+}$ d. $1 \space mole \space C{O_3}^{2-} = 2 \space Eq \space C{O_3}^{2-}$ 3. Use these as conversion factors: a. $$1 \space moles \space K^+ \times \frac{1 \space Eq \space K^+}{1 \space mole \space K^+} = 1 \space Eq \space K^+$$ b. $$2 \space moles \space OH^- \times \frac{1 \space Eq \space OH^-}{1 \space mole \space OH^-} = 2 \space Eq \space OH^-$$ c. $$1 \space moles \space Ca^{2+} \times \frac{2 \space Eq \space Ca^{2+}}{1 \space mole \space Ca^{2+}} = 2 \space Eq \space Ca^{2+}$$ d. $$3 \space moles \space C{O_3}^{2-} \times \frac{2 \space Eq \space C{O_3}^{2-}}{1 \space mole \space C{O_3}^{2-}} = 6 \space Eq \space C{O_3}^{2-}$$
