![**Question:**
Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:
\[ \text{CO}_3^{2-}, \, \text{MnO}_4^{-}, \, \text{Fe}^{2+}, \, \text{NH}_4^{+} \]
**Answer Box:**
```
```
**Explanation:**
You are given a set of ions with their charges:
- Carbonate ion: \( \text{CO}_3^{2-} \)
- Permanganate ion: \( \text{MnO}_4^{-} \)
- Iron(II) ion: \( \text{Fe}^{2+} \)
- Ammonium ion: \( \text{NH}_4^{+} \)
Using these ions, you need to form ionic compounds by combining cations and anions in such a way that the total charge of the compound is zero. Below are four possible combinations:
1. **Iron(II) Carbonate:**
- \( \text{Fe}^{2+} \) and \( \text{CO}_3^{2-} \)
- Empirical Formula: \( \text{FeCO}_3 \)
2. **Iron(II) Permanganate:**
- \( \text{Fe}^{2+} \) and \( 2\text{MnO}_4^{-} \)
- Empirical Formula: \( \text{Fe(MnO}_4\text{)}_2 \)
3. **Ammonium Carbonate:**
- \( 2\text{NH}_4^{+} \) and \( \text{CO}_3^{2-} \)
- Empirical Formula: \( \text{(NH}_4\text{)}_2\text{CO}_3 \)
4. **Ammonium Permanganate:**
- \( \text{NH}_4^{+} \) and \( \text{MnO}_4^{-} \)
- Empirical Formula: \( \text{NH}_4\text{MnO}_4 \)
Ensure to balance the charges properly to form neutral compounds when writing the empirical formula.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F119dc43d-7db3-46ad-a645-5a950c0164fa%2Fcdf8e309-2c65-4641-a96c-9efecb17266c%2Flzeaqxi_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
