Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: a). PO3−4
b). NH+4
c). Fe3+
d). ClO−3

a. Na₃PO₄

b. NH₄Cl

c. FeCl₃

d. KClO₃

Explanation:

a. Sodium tetraoxophosphate(V) Na₃PO₄

3Na⁺ + PO₄³⁻ → Na₃PO₄

b. Ammonium Chloride NH₄Cl

NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻ → NH₄Cl

c. Iron(III)chloride

Fe³⁺ + Cl⁻ → FeCl₃

d. Potassium trioxochlorate(V) KClO₃

K⁺ + ClO₃⁻ → KClO₃

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.
