Question

The formula of hydrogen phosphate of metal $\mathrm{M}$ is ${\mathrm{MHPO}}_4$.Give the formulae of metal.

(i) Chloride

(ii) Bicarbonate

(iii) Sulphite

Answer 1

Since the formula of hydrogen phosphate of metal $\mathrm{M}$is ${\mathrm{MHPO}}_4$and metal ion is ${\mathrm{M}}^{+}$.

(i) Chloride

The formula of metal chloride is = ${\mathrm{M}}^{+}{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}=\mathrm{MCl}$

(ii) Bicarbonate

The formula of metal bicarbonate = ${\mathrm{M}}^{+}{{\mathrm{HCO}}_3}^{-}={\mathrm{MHCO}}_3$

(iii) Sulphite

The formula of metal sulphite = ${\mathrm{M}}^{+}{{\mathrm{SO}}_3}^{-2}={\mathrm{M}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_3$
