    Gold(III) Sulfate Formula: Understanding the Chemical Formula (Au₂SO₄)₃
    The formula for gold(III) sulfate is Au₂(SO₄)₃. Here's how we arrive at this:

    * Gold(III) indicates that gold has a +3 charge (Au³⁺).

    * Sulfate is a polyatomic ion with the formula SO₄²⁻.

    * To balance the charges, we need two gold ions (2 x +3 = +6) and three sulfate ions (3 x -2 = -6).

    Therefore, the formula is Au₂(SO₄)₃.
