Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 126
Question: Phosphate of a metal M has the formula $ M_3{{( PO_4 )}_2}. $ The formula for its sulphate would be [CPMT 1973; MP PMT 1996]
Options:
A) $ MSO_4 $
B) $ M{{( SO_4 )}_2} $
C) $ M_2{{( SO_4 )}_3} $
D) $ M_3{{( SO_4 )}_2} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ M_3{{(PO_4)}_2} $ means M is divalent so formula of its sulphate is $ MSO_4 $ .
