Correct Answer
D
Explanation
Potassium aluminum tetraoxosulfate(VI), commonly known as potassium alum, has the chemical formula KAl(SO4)2. When this compound dissolves in water, it dissociates into its constituent ions:
KAl(SO4)2 ? K? + Al³? + (SO4)²?
From this equation, you can see that one potassium ion (K?) and one aluminum ion (Al³?) are produced. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 cations produced from the solution.
