The correct Answer is:
To find the formulas for the sulfate and chloride of element X, we start with the information given about its phosphate, which is \( XPO_4 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Phosphate Ion**: The phosphate ion is \( PO_4^{3-} \). This means that the valency of the phosphate ion is 3. 2. **Determine the Valency of X**: Since the formula for the phosphate is \( XPO_4 \) and the phosphate has a valency of 3, we can conclude that the valency of element X must also be 3 to balance the charge. Therefore, \( X \) has a valency of 3. 3. **Find the Sulfate Ion**: The sulfate ion is \( SO_4^{2-} \). The valency of sulfate is 2. 4. **Determine the Formula for Sulfate**: To find the formula for the sulfate of X, we need to balance the valencies. Since the valency of X is 3 and the valency of sulfate is 2, we can use the cross-multiplication method: - The formula will be \( X_2SO_4 \) because we need 2 sulfate ions to balance the 3 valency of X. Thus, the formula becomes \( X_2(SO_4)_{3} \). 5. **Find the Chloride Ion**: The chloride ion is \( Cl^{-} \). The valency of chloride is 1. 6. **Determine the Formula for Chloride**: Again, using cross-multiplication: - Since the valency of X is 3 and the valency of chloride is 1, the formula for the chloride of X will be \( XCl_3 \). ### Final Formulas: - The formula for the sulfate of X is \( X_2(SO_4)_{3} \). - The formula for the chloride of X is \( XCl_3 \). ### Summary: - Sulfate: \( X_2(SO_4)_{3} \) - Chloride: \( XCl_3 \)

To find the formulas for the sulfate and chloride of element X, we start with the information given about its phosphate, which is \( XPO_4 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Phosphate Ion**: The phosphate ion is \( PO_4^{3-} \). This means that the valency of the phosphate ion is 3. 2. **Determine the Valency of X**: ...
