Hello!

When finding the chemical formula of a compound, we will need to find the charges of each element/bond.

Looking at our period table, sodium has a +1 charge, written as Na 1+, and sulfate has a charge of -2, and it is written as SO4 2-.

Now, we need to make the charges equivalent. To do this, we need to "criss-cross" the charges. This means that sodium will need to additional atoms to make the charges equal, and sulfate will need one.

Therefore, the chemical formula for sodium sulfate is: Na2SO4.

Answer: The equilibrium constant for the overall reaction is $K_a\times K_b$

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios.

a) $P(s)+\frac{3}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)$
