spelled sulphate wrong

[Papapodcasts]

@SesameSpeed Sulfate is the spelling of this polyatomic according to IUPAC and it has been this way since 1990

I got a quiz on monday, ty sirrrrr!!!! keep making chem videos please :)

[Papapodcasts]

@goldb0y6 Thanks so much. Good luck on your quiz this Monday. Keep me posted how you do. Write out the phrase on your quiz so it can help you visualize these polyatomics.

i had a question on my handout tht i didnt get and thought that the cross-over trick doesnt always work wen i saw Ti(HPO4)2 and i had to put it in numerical form. I thought through the crossover trick Ti has 4 ions and HPO4 has 2 so it should equal Ti2(HPO4)4, i asked everyone "why is it Ti(HPO4)2 and not Ti2(HPO4)4 i asked the teacher after class,.my friends they all confused me even more and the answer was given to me in five minutes to this video...YOU REDUCE YOUR ION CHARGES! THanks Mr.P <3
