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.
