The pH of the salts in decreasing order is FeCl2, FeCl3, MgCl2, KClO2.
What is pH?
pH is an expression of hydrogen ion concentration in water. Specifically, pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion (H+) concentration (mol/L) in an aqueous solution:
pH = -log10(H+)
The term is used to indicate basicity or acidity of a solution on a scale of 0 to 14, with pH 7 being neutral.
As the concentration of H+ ions in solution increases, acidity increases and pH gets lower, below 7. When pH is above 7, the solution is basic.
Because pH is a logarithmic function, one unit change in pH indicates a 10x change in H+ concentration in that solution.
However, what is actually measured is hydrogen ion activity, not concentration.

Explanation:
Step 1: Write out the chemical formula of the compound.
Magnesium Chloride = MgCl^2
Step 2: Convert moles into number of compounds using Avogadro's number
0.5 moles MgCl^2 ⋅(6.022⋅10^23 - 1 mole MgCl^2)= 3.011⋅ 10^23
Step 3: Determine how many Chloride ions there will be in 1 compound
There will be 2 Cl− ions in each compound (Cl^2 part)
Step 4: Multiply the number from Step 2 by the number in Step 3
3.011 ⋅ 10^23 ⋅ 2= 6.022 ⋅ 10^23
We do this because the ratio is 2 Cl− ions for every 1 compound.
In the case of finding how many ions in general (both sodium and chloride), we would multiply by 3 because there are 3 ions per 1 compound.

Answer:
P2O3
Explanation:
Firstly, we know that the phosphorus would absorb oxygen from air to form its oxide. We already know the mass of the phosphorus, we can get the mass of the oxygen by subtracting the mass of the phosphorus from the mass of the oxide.
The mass of the oxygen is 2.57 - 1.45 = 1.12g
From here, we covert these masses to moles by dividing by the atomic masses of phosphorus and oxygen respectively.
The atomic mass of phosphorus is 31 while that of oxygen is 16.
P = 1.45/31 = 0.046774193548
O = 1.12/16 = 0.07
We now divide by the smallest which is that of phosphorus.
P = 0.046774193548/ 0.046774193548= 1
O = 0.07/ 0.046774193548 = 1.5
We then multiply the answers by 2 for conversion to whole numbers. Making P = 2 and O = 3
The empirical formula is thus P2O3
