There are 2 lithium atoms in lithium sulfate because of a balance of charges.
The sulfate anion has a "2-" charge (SO4 2-), and the lithium cation has a "1+" charge (Li 1+). Leaving the compound as LiSO4 would leave the total charge of the compound as (1+) + (2-) = (1-) - not 0, as is required. In order to balance out the "2-" charge of the sulfate anion, there must be 2+ charge with the lithium cation. Thus, there is a need for 2 lithium atoms in the compound of lithium sulfate (the formula is Li2SO4).
Hope it helps.

What does Zinc Sulphate and Lithium look like after the reaction of them together?
When zinc sulphate and lithium react together, they form lithium sulphate and zinc as products. Zinc is a grayish-white metal, while lithium sulphate is a white solid. Therefore, after the reaction, you would observe a greyish-white solid and a white solid.

How many atoms are there in Li2CO3?
Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) consists of three types of atoms: lithium (Li), carbon (C), and oxygen (O). Specifically, there are 2 lithium atoms, 1 carbon atom, and 3 oxygen atoms in each molecule of Li2CO3. Therefore, the total number of atoms in one formula unit of lithium carbonate is 2 + 1 + 3 = 6 atoms.
