Solution
CA(NO3)2, Fe2S2, NaSO4 and Na(CO)3 are the incorrect formulae, while K2CO3, Zn(CO3), Cu1O1, HgO, PbCO3, K2S1 and MgSO4 are correct formulae. Corrected formulae for the incorrect ones are as follows:
FeS is the correct formula for iron sulphide.
Na2SO4 is the correct formula for sodium sulphate.
Na2(CO3) is the correct formula for sodium carbonate.
Ca(NO3)2 is the corrected formula for calcium nitrate.
