What is the correct formula for Mn iv phoshate the phosphate ion is PO4 3?

Answer 1

The total numbers of positive and negative parts of the compound must be the same. Manganese (IV) has 4 positive charges per ion and phosphate has 3 negative charges per ion; therefore the formula is Mn3(PO4)4.

Answer 2

The correct formula for manganese (IV) phosphate is Mn3(PO4)4. This is because the charge on the manganese ion (IV) is +4, and each phosphate ion (PO4^3-) has a charge of -3, requiring three phosphate ions to balance the charge on the manganese ion.
