Answer

Step 1 — Write each symbol with its valency

Na1+HSO41\text{Na}^{1+} \phantom{\nearrow} \text{HSO}_4^{1-}

Step 2 — Interchange the valencies

Na21  HSO41Na11  HSO41\overset{\phantom{2}{1}}{\text{Na}} \space {\searrow}\mathllap{\swarrow} \space \overset{1}{\text{HSO}4} \Rightarrow \underset{\phantom{1}{1}}{\text{Na}} \space {\searrow}\mathllap{\swarrow} \space \underset{1}{\text{HSO}4} \\[0.5em]

Step 3 — Write the interchanged number & hence the formula

Therefore, we get

Formula of Sodium bisulphate : NaHSO4\bold{NaHSO}_4
