Question

How many atoms are in mercury (I) phospate?
The chemical formula is (Hg2)3(PO4)2

A)11
B)14
C)15
D)16

Answer 1

Mercury (I) phosphate with the chemical formula  (Hg2)3(PO4)2 has 16 atoms.

• Number of Hg atoms = 2x3 = 6
• Number of P atoms = 2 x 1 = 2
• Number of O atoms = 4x2 = 8

Sum of all the atoms = 6+2+8

                                   = 16 atoms
