    Chemical formula for aluminium sulphate
    Question

    Chemical formula for aluminium sulphate

    A.

    AlSO_4

    B.

    Al_3(SO_4)_2

    C.

    Al_2 (SO_4)_3

    D.

    Al_3 (SO_3)_2

    Correct option is C


    Aluminium sulphate is an ionic compound formed by the combination of aluminium ions (Al³⁺) and sulphate ions (SO₄²⁻). To balance the charges:
    · Aluminium ion (Al³⁺) → Has a charge of +3.
    · Sulphate ion (SO₄²⁻) → Has a charge of -2.
    To achieve charge neutrality, the lowest common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6, so:
    · 2 Aluminium ions (2 × +3 = +6)
    · 3 Sulphate ions (3 × -2 = -6)
