Question
write the correct name for each of these compounds: 12. fe(oh)₂ 13. (nh₄)₃po₄ 14. alpo₄ 15. na₃po₃ 16. cu(c₂h₃o₂)₂ 17. caco₃ 18. fe₂o₃ 19. feo 20. nh₄oh 21. si(so₄)₂
12. $\boldsymbol{\ce{Fe(OH)2}}$
Step1: Identify cation and anion
Cation: $\ce{Fe^{2+}}$ (Iron(II) ion, since hydroxide has -1 charge, 2 hydroxides give -2, so Fe is +2). Anion: $\ce{OH^-}$ (Hydroxide ion).
Step2: Name the compound
Name the cation (with charge indicated by Roman numeral if needed) and then the anion. So Iron(II) hydroxide.
Step1: Identify cation and anion
Cation: $\ce{NH4^+}$ (Ammonium ion). Anion: $\ce{PO4^{3-}}$ (Phosphate ion).
Step2: Name the compound
Name the cation and then the anion. Ammonium phosphate.
Step1: Identify cation and anion
Cation: $\ce{Al^{3+}}$ (Aluminum ion, charge is +3, no Roman numeral needed as Al has only +3). Anion: $\ce{PO4^{3-}}$ (Phosphate ion).
Step2: Name the compound
Aluminum phosphate.
