Question

Formula of the chloride of an element is Xcl³ . Write down the formulae lf the hydroxide and sulphate of X with proper explanations .​

Answer 1

Answer:

XCl²

=>x+2(−1)=>x=+2

Oxidation state of metal = +2

metal ion X +2

Metal sulphate formula=> XSO⁴

Metal Hydroxide formula => X(OH) ²

Answer 2

Answer:

as the formula of chloride of X is XCl3.....we can say that the valency of X is 3

thus formula of hydroxide of X is X(OH)3.....and sulphate is X2(SO4)3
