Explanation:
If the formula of a chloride of a metal M is MCl
3
, then the formula of the phosphate of metal M will be MPO
4
.
Since, the formula of a chloride of a metal M is MCl
3
, the metal is trivalent (because chlorine is monovalent). Phosphate is trivalent. Hence, one M
3+
ion will combine with one PO
4
3−
ion to maintain electrical neutrality.
