Perchloric acid reacts with cadmium to form cadmium( II) perchlorate.Write the chemical formula for each substance mentioned in the following word descriptions (use the front inside cover of the textbook to find the symbols for the elements you don't know).
perchlorate is ClO4-
cadmium( II) perchlorate : Cd( ClO4)2
perchloric acid : HClO4
Cadmium is Cd
So your equation is:
2HClO4 + Cd ------>Cd( ClO4)2 + H2
