  • Calculating Atoms in Fe₂(SO₄)₃: A Detailed Breakdown
    The formula Fe₂(SO₄)₃ is incorrect. It should be Fe₂(SO₄)₃, which represents ferric sulfate.

    Here's how to break down the formula to count the atoms:

    * Fe₂: This indicates two iron (Fe) atoms.

    * (SO₄)₃: This indicates three sulfate (SO₄) groups. Each sulfate group contains:

    * One sulfur (S) atom

    * Four oxygen (O) atoms

    Therefore, in one molecule of Fe₂(SO₄)₃, there are:

    * 2 Iron (Fe) atoms

    * 3 Sulfur (S) atoms

    * 12 Oxygen (O) atoms

    Total: 17 atoms
