Answer:
CuSO₄(aq) + 2 KF(aq) = CuF₂ + K₂SO₄
Explanation:
The question is missing but I think it must be about writing and balancing the equation.
Let’s consider the unbalanced equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous copper (II) sulfate reacts with aqueous potassium fluoride to produce a precipitate of copper (II) fluoride (I fixed a mistake here) and aqueous potassium sulfate. This is a double displacement reaction.
CuSO₄(aq) + KF(aq) = CuF₂ + K₂SO₄
Since only K and F atoms are not balanced, we will get the balanced equation by multiplying KF by 2.
CuSO₄(aq) + 2 KF(aq) = CuF₂ + K₂SO₄
