  • Aluminum Sulfate Formula: Understanding Al₂(SO₄)₃
    Aluminum sulfate is written as:

    Al₂(SO₄)₃

    Here's why:

    * Aluminum (Al): Aluminum has a +3 charge (Al³⁺).

    * Sulfate (SO₄): Sulfate is a polyatomic ion with a -2 charge (SO₄²⁻).

    * Balancing charges: To balance the charges, you need two aluminum ions (2 x +3 = +6) and three sulfate ions (3 x -2 = -6).

    This results in the formula Al₂(SO₄)₃.
