    An element X forms an oxide with formula \[{{X}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]. The formula of its sulphate and phosphate will be respectively

    A) \[XS{{O}_{4}}\] and \[{{X}_{2}}{{(P{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\]

    B) \[{{X}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\] and \[XP{{O}_{4}}\]

    C) \[X{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{2}}\] and \[X{{(P{{O}_{4}})}_{2}}\]

    D) \[{{X}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] and \[{{X}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Formula of oxide \[={{X}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]Valency of \[X=+3\] \[\therefore \] Formula of sulphate \[={{X}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\] and phosphate \[\text{= XP}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\]
