Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 127
Question: The molecular formula of chloride of a metal M is $ MCl_3. $ The formula of its carbonate would be [CPMT 1987]
Options:
A) $ MCO_3 $
B) $ M_2{{( CO_3 )}_3} $
C) $ M_2CO_3 $
D) $ M{{( CO_3 )}_2} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
As the molecular formula of chloride of a metal M is $ MCl_3 $ , it is trivalent so formula of its carbonate will be $ M_2{{(CO_3)}_3} $ .
