A metal sulphate has the formula MSO4 A chloride of the same metal will have the formula
Question
A metal sulphate has the formula MSO4 A chloride of the same metal will have the formula
Solution
The formula for a chloride of the same metal would be MCl2.
Here's the step by step explanation:
-
In the given formula MSO4, 'M' represents the metal, 'S' represents sulphur and 'O4' represents four oxygen atoms. This is a sulphate ion which has a charge of -2.
-
The metal 'M' must have a charge of +2 to balance the -2 charge from the sulphate ion.
-
A chloride ion has a charge of -1. Therefore, to balance the +2 charge of the metal 'M', we need two chloride ions.
-
Hence, the formula for a chloride of the same metal would be MCl2.
