One of the products of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide
Answer is: formula is Al₂(CO₃)₃.
Aluminium carbonate (Al₂(CO₃)₃) has neutral charge. Because aluminium cation has positive charge 3+ and carbonate anion has negative charge 2-, for right chemical formula, we need two aluminium cations and three carbonate anion:
charge of the molecule = 2 · (3+) + 3 · (-2).
charge of the molecule = 0.
and
.
Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,
First compound:
;
of the first compound would contain
Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a
ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be
where the subscript "1" is omitted.
Similarly, for the second compound
;
of the first compound would contain
and therefore the empirical formula
.
