Question

the formula of an phosphate of am element is m is M3P04 write the formula of its sulphate and nitrate​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The formula for its sulphate would be MSO

4

.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

In M

3

(PO

4

)

2

, metal is having an oxidation state of +2 called as M

+2

cation and phosphate PO

4

−3

is an anion with oxidation state of -3. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios.

For formation of sulphate, the metal with oxidation state of +2 would be combining with sulphate SO

4

−2

is an anion with oxidation state of -2 to give MSO(4)
