Work Step by Step

Certainly! Here are the formulas for the given compounds: a. Chromium(III) hydroxide: Cr(OH)3 Explanation: Chromium has an oxidation state of +3, so the formula for chromium(III) hydroxide is Cr(OH)3. b. Magnesium cyanide: Mg(CN)2 Explanation: Magnesium has an oxidation state of +2, and cyanide (CN-) is a monovalent anion, so the formula for magnesium cyanide is Mg(CN)2. c. Lead(IV) carbonate: Pb(CO3)2 Explanation: Lead has an oxidation state of +4, and carbonate (CO3^2-) is a divalent anion, so the formula for lead(IV) carbonate is Pb(CO3)2. d. Ammonium acetate: CH3COO-NH4+ Explanation: Ammonium (NH4+) is the cation, and acetate (CH3COO-) is the anion, so the formula for ammonium acetate is NH4C2H3)2.
