Work out the formula for magnesium hydrogen carbonate.


Valency of Magnesium = 2
Valency of hydrogen carbonate ion = −1

Elements/Ions: Mg            HCO3
Valency:              +2                -1
Formula for Magnesium hydrogen carbonate can be worked out by crossing the valency of the constituent elements.

Therefore, formula for Magnesium hydrogen carbonate is: Mg(HCO3)2.
