Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the cation and anion for the missing compound
The missing compound involves the cation \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) and the anion \(\mathrm{ClO}_{3}^{-}\).
Step 2: Determine the empirical formula
To form a neutral ionic compound, the total positive charge must equal the total negative charge. The cation \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) has a charge of \(+3\), and the anion \(\mathrm{ClO}_{3}^{-}\) has a charge of \(-1\). Therefore, we need three \(\mathrm{ClO}_{3}^{-}\) anions to balance one \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) cation.
The empirical formula is:
\[
\mathrm{Fe(ClO}_{3}\mathrm{)}_{3}
\]
Step 3: Name the compound
The compound formed by \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) and \(\mathrm{ClO}_{3}^{-}\) is named iron(III) chlorate.
Final Answer
\[
\boxed{\mathrm{Fe(ClO}_{3}\mathrm{)}_{3}}
\]
The name of the compound is iron(III) chlorate.
