    Today, it is known that the chemical formula for potassium aluminum sulfate is KAl(SO4)2•12H2O. It is a hydrated compound because water molecules are included within its crystal structure. There are 12 moles of H2O for every 1 mole of KAl(SO4)2. The compound contains two different positive ions. The gram-formula mass of KAl(SO4)2•12H2O is 474 grams per mole.

    Base your answers to questions 14 on the information below.

    During a fireworks display, salts are heated to very high temperatures. Ions in the salts absorb energy and become excited. Spectacular colors are produced as energy is emitted from the ions in the form of light.

    The color of the emitted light is characteristic of the metal ion in each salt. For example, the lithium ion in lithium carbonate, Li2CO3, produces a deep-red color. The strontium ion in strontium carbonate, SrCO3, produces a bright-red color. Similarly, calcium chloride is used for orange light, sodium chloride for yellow light, and barium chloride for green light.

    14

    Identify the two types of chemical bonds found in the salt used to produce a deep-red color.
