The hydrogen sulphate of a certain metal has the formula \( M H S O_{4} \). The formula of the metal oxide is:

  • A. \( M O \)
  • B. \( M O_{2} \)
  • C. \( M_{2} O \)
  • D. \( M_{2} O_{2} \)

Step-by-step solution

The hydrogen sulfate ion (HSO4-) has a -1 charge. In MHSO4, the metal M must have a +1 charge to balance. A metal with +1 charge forms an oxide as M2O (since O is -2).
