CBSEENSC9005044

If the calcium salt of a hypothetical anion Z has the molecular formula Ca3Z2. What is the valency of Z and what would be molecular formula of the aluminium salt of Z?

Solution

In a ionic compound the charge excange, thus Valency of Z = –3

Valency of Al = +3

Formula of aluminium salt of Z = AlZ.
