neutral  philgoddard: This may well be correct, but you haven't included any references.// The formula is not given in the German, and you haven't shown an equivalence between the German and your English version.

  -> It's quite obvious if you look at the formula.// How many hydrogens are there before the Phosphate in the formula? One. Hence "mono". Phosphate is trivalent so it either has two Na and one H, or one Na and two H.// I'm paddling within my depth. You?
