Expert Solution
Step 1

The question asks to determine the empirical formula and name of three ionic compounds given the cation and anion pairs:

  1. Cr2+ and OH-
  2. Pb2+ and ClO3-
  3. Mg2+ and NO3-

To solve for the empirical formula, we need to determine the ratio of cations to anions that balances the charges of the ions. We can do this by finding the least common multiple of the charges and then dividing by the charge of each ion to get the ratio.
