Explanation:

Part a) \( \text{Li}_2\text{CO}_3 \)

Step 1: Identify cation and anion

Cation: \( \text{Li}^+ \) (lithium ion), Anion: \( \text{CO}_3^{2-} \) (carbonate ion)

Step 2: Name the compound

Combine the names of cation and anion. Lithium + carbonate = Lithium carbonate

Step 1: Identify cation and anion

Cation: \( \text{Mg}^{2+} \) (magnesium ion), Anion: \( \text{HCO}_3^- \) (bicarbonate or hydrogen carbonate ion)

Step 2: Name the compound

Magnesium + bicarbonate (or hydrogen carbonate) = Magnesium bicarbonate (or Magnesium hydrogen carbonate)

Step 1: Identify cation and anion

Cation: \( \text{Na}^+ \) (sodium ion), Anion: \( \text{SO}_4^{2-} \) (sulfate ion)

Step 2: Name the compound

Sodium + sulfate = Sodium sulfate

Answer:

Lithium carbonate

Part b) \( \text{Mg(HCO}_3\text{)}_2 \)
