What happens to the charge of polyatomic ion phosphate when an H is added to the formula?

In even moderately strong acid conditions in aqueous solution, a polyatomic phosphate ion with a charge of -3 will add an hydrogen ion with a charge of +1 to form a polyatomic acid phosphate anion with a charge of -2. In equation form, PO4-3 + H+1 -> HPO4-2.

The charges in a compound should always add to?

By definition, a compound is always neutral. If the polyatomic chemical entity has a charge, it is no longer a compound, but is now a polyatomic ion. Ionic compounds and molecular compounds are also neutral in charge. The word "ionic" is just referring to the type of chemical bond in the molecule.


When a polyatomic ion is in parentheses and there is a subscript on the outside of it is the polyatomic ion multiplied or add?

Multiplied.

What happens when you add hydrochloric acid to copper?

Absolutely no reaction happens, that's because copper is less reactive than hydrogen. ;)


What is the chemical formula name for HClO2?

HClO is an acid, in aqueous state, involving a polyatomic ion. You MUST recognize the polyatomic ion in the formula. There is no other way to figure out the name. If you don't recognize the polyatomic, then you're sunk without a trace. The polyatomic ion is ClO¯ and its name is hypochlorite. Any time you see the "ite" suffix, you change it to "ous" and add the word acid. The name of HClO is hypochlorous acid.
