The phosphate of a metal has the formula `MHPO_(4)`. The formula of its chloride would be

A

`MCl `

B

` MCl _2 `

C

`MCl_ 3 `

D

`M_ 2Cl _ 3 `

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since the phosphate of a metal is `MHPO_(4)`, therefore, metal M must be divalent, i.e., `M^(2+)`. As a result, the formula of its chloride is `MCl_(2)`.
