Molecular formula of Sodium Sulphate is Na2SO4
Sodium (Na) has valency as +1 and Sulphate (SO4) has valency -2.
After Criss-Crossing the valency, they become the number of molecules of a particular element present in that compound.
Same goes to Ferric Phosphate. But the case here is that Ferric (Fe) has valency +3 and Phosphate (PO4) has valency -3 so the electrons and protons neutralise each other.
