The chemical formula for phosphate is PO4^3-.
The phosphate ion is PO4-3. Many food items contain phosphates... actually, since DNA contains two phosphate groups per base pair, ANY food item that contains cells has phosphates in it.
Phosphate phosphorus refers to the form of phosphorus that is present in compounds containing phosphate ions, such as inorganic phosphates, organic phosphates, and phospholipids. It is an essential nutrient for plant and animal growth and is commonly found in fertilizers and various biological molecules.
PO4^-3 is an ion.So its valency is -3
The charge of a PO4 ion is 3-.
Two possible phosphates in the precipatation reaction of copper 2 choloride with sodium phosphate would be copper (II) sodium monophosphate, and copper (II) diphosphate. Phosphate ions carry a charge of negative 3 (PO4-3), so they must bind with something with 3 positive charges. Copper (II) is +2, and adding a sodium (Na+) makes three, so we have copper(II) sodium monphosphate: CuNaPO4. Another possibility is to use multiple phosphates. Two phosphates would have a -6 charge, and 3 copper(II) atoms would have a +6 charge, so they could form copper(II) diphosphate: Cu3(PO4)2.
The charge of phosphates is typically -3.
Phosphates are chemical compounds containing the phosphate ion (PO4^3-). They are important in biological systems as components of DNA, RNA, and ATP, and are also used in detergents, fertilizers, and food additives. However, excess phosphates in water bodies can lead to eutrophication and harm aquatic ecosystems.
Mo3(PO4)4
a phosphate ion is PO43-
The charge of a phosphate ion (PO4) is -3.
Ca 2+ + PO4 3- ---> Ca3(PO4)2
