Question

write the steps of deducing the chemical formula of the following- ammonium phosphate​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical formula is deduced on the basis of cation and anion in the compound..

Explanation:

1. sodium sulphate contains Na+cation and (SO4) 2–anion ,thus molecular formula of sodium sulphate is Na2SO4.

2. Potassium nitrate contains k+ cation (NO3) – anion ,thus molecular formula of potassium nitrate is kNO3.

3.Calcium oxide contains Ca2+ & O2– anion ,thus molecular formula of calcium oxide is CaO.

4.Aluminium hydroxide contains Al3+ cation and OH–anion, thus molecular formula of aluminum hydroxide is (AlOH) 3.

5.Ferric phosphate contains Fe2+cation and (PO4) 2–anion ,thus molecular formula of ferrous phosphate is FePO4.
