QUESTION 15What are the values of x and y in the compound Agx(CO3)?AX = 1, y = 2B. X = 3, y = 1C.x = 3, y = 2O D.X = 2, y = 1

Answer 1

Values of x and y will be the charges of each cation and anion. In this case, we have Ag⁺ and CO₃²⁻

So we use the following rule:

So the answer is Ag₂CO3.

Answer: Alternative "D" x = 2; y= 1
