The compound ammonium phosphate is a strong electrolyte. Write the transformation that occurs when solid ammonium phosphate dissolves in water.

(NH₄)₂SO₄(s) --->  2NH₄⁺(aq) + SO₄⁻²(aq)

Explanation:

The compound ammonium phosphate is a strong electrolyte. - This means that ammonium phosphate fully ionizes - dissociates to positive and negative ions completely.

The ions formed when ammonium phosphate dissociates are; Ammonium ion NH₄⁺ and sulphate ion SO₄⁻²

The transformation is given in the equation;

(NH₄)₂SO₄ --->  NH₄⁺ + SO₄⁻²

Upon balancing;

(NH₄)₂SO₄(s) --->  2NH₄⁺(aq) + SO₄⁻²(aq)
