Question
**Predicting the Formula of Ionic Compounds with Common Ions**

**Task:** Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:

- \( \text{PO}_4^{3-} \)
- \( \text{Pb}^{4+} \)
- \( \text{OH}^- \)
- \( \text{Fe}^{3+} \)

**Instructions:**

- Use the provided text box to input your empirical formulas.
- You can use the options to clear or reset your entries if needed. 

**Explanation:**

In this exercise, you will practice predicting the empirical formulas of ionic compounds. The ions listed can combine to form neutral compounds. Consider the charge balance: the sum of the charges in the compound must be zero. Here are a few example combinations:

1. **Pb(OH)_4:** Formed by combining \( \text{Pb}^{4+} \) and \( \text{OH}^- \).
2. **FePO_4:** Formed by combining \( \text{Fe}^{3+} \) and \( \text{PO}_4^{3-} \).
3. **Pb_3(PO_4)_4:** Formed by combining \( \text{Pb}^{4+} \) and \( \text{PO}_4^{3-} \).
4. **Fe(OH)_3:** Formed by combining \( \text{Fe}^{3+} \) and \( \text{OH}^- \).

Use these combinations to guide your answers and ensure the total charge contributes to a neutral compound.
