If the aluminium salt of an anion X is Al2X3, what is the valency of X? What will be the formula of the magnesium salt of X?

Let the valency of X be y, then 2 x (+3) + 3 x y = 0

So, valency of X = y = -2


As valency of Mg is +2 and that of X is -2 so the formula of Magnesium salt of X will be MgX.
