give the formula from the systematic name
lithium sulfite 1 2
a. li₂ b. li c. li₃ d. (cn)₂ e. so₃ f. (so₃)₂
g. (c₂h₃o₂)₂ h. c₂h₃o₂ i. hso₃ j. c₂ k. c₃ l. po₃
m. hpo₃ n. h₂po₃ o. oh p. (oh)₂ q. s r. so₄
s. (so₄)₂ t. i feel better now

Explanation:

Step1: Identify ion charges

Lithium forms a $Li^+$ ion with a +1 charge. Sulfite ion is $SO_3^{2 -}$ with a - 2 charge.

Step2: Balance charges

To balance the charges in an ionic compound, we need 2 lithium ions for every 1 sulfite ion.

Answer:

1. A. $Li_2$
2. E. $SO_3$
