Answer:
The chemical formula for the ionic compound formed by Au3+ and
HSO3-compound is Au(HSO3)3
Explanation:
The charge on Au ion is [tex]+3[/tex]
And the charge on HSO3- is [tex]-1[/tex]
Thus, the number of atoms required by HSO3- to complete its octate is 1. On the other hand Au has 3 excess ions and hence it is to be released to reach the stable state.
So three molecules of HSO3- will combine with one atom of Au 3+
Thus, the compound formed by these two is Au(HSO3)3
