First we look generally at what makes K2SO4.

In one mole of K2SO4, there are 2 moles of the potassium ion (K+) and 1 mole of sulfate ion (SO4 2-).

Knowing that; in 1.75 moles of K2SO4, there must be 2 x 1.75moles of potassium ion (K+) and 1 x 1.75moles of Sulfate ion (SO4 2-)

This gives us 3.5moles of K + and 1.75moles of SO4 2-
