    TiO2
    O = -2
    2O = 2x-2 = -4
    Ti = +4
    HBr: Br=-1 so H = +1
    SO3: O = -2 so 3O = -6 and S = +6
    SO4-2: 4x-2 = -8 and S = +6 because SO4=-2

    Only titanium dioxide. Oxygen is almost always -2, and that is the case in both of the sulfur compounds. The last formula is wrong; it should be SO4–.
