What is the name of NaHX2POX4 (hydrogen- prefixes for acid salts, anion derived from phosphate POX4X3−)?
Asodium dihydrogenphosphate
Bsodium hydrogenphosphate
Csodium phosphate
Dsodium dihydrogenphosphite
Answer: A
The anion is HX2POX4X−: phosphate carrying two H, so dihydrogenphosphate. One NaX+ balances the single negative charge. Sodium hydrogenphosphate would be written NaX2HPOX4 (HPOX4X2−).
