I got Hg2HPO4 but im not sure if its right
Yeah you are right. The hydrogen phosphate is -2 so you would need 2 Hg atoms with +1 charge to balance the compound.
What is the chemical formula for mercury (I) hydrogen phosphate?
Answer:
Hg2(^+2)H(^+1)PSO4(^-3)
(^+n or ^ –n) this number represents the oxidation states of these elements in the compound of mercury (mercurous) hydrogen phosphate.
