In an ionic compound the charges of all the ions must balance out to zero. The chloride ion has a charge of -1. Lithium and potassium ions both have a +1 charge. So these ions will combine in a 1:1 ration. By contrast, barium, strontium, and calcium all form ions with a 2+ charge, so in order to balance the charges, chloride ions must combine with these metals in a 2:1 ratio.

What happens when you combine potassium carbonate and strontium chloride?

When you combine potassium carbonate and strontium chloride, a double displacement reaction occurs where the potassium and strontium ions switch partners. This results in the formation of potassium chloride and strontium carbonate as the products. The reaction can be represented as: K2CO3 + SrCl2 -> 2KCl + SrCO3.
