The chloride of a metal has the formula MCl3. The formula of its phosphate will be:
(a) M2PO4 (b) MPO4 (c) M3PO4 (d) M (PO4)2....PLZ ANS WITH FORMULA AND STEPS

Dear Student,

Formula of chloride of Metal is MCl3.

So charge on metal is 3+ and on chlorine is -1 by criss cross method.
Metal = M3+
Phosphate = (PO4)3-

Now formula of metal phosphate is MPO4
b) ​MPO4




 

  • 3
It is either one of Li,Na,Mg,Al or Ca
  • -5
Ans. Valency- M=3 Cl=1 it makes MCl3 Valency - M=3 PO4 (phosphate)=2 It will make M2 (PO4)3
  • -2
Sry above ans. Is wrong PO4 valency is 3 so it will be MPO4 😘
