Aluminium sulfate is rarely, if ever, encountered as the anhydrous salt. It forms a number of different hydrates, of which the hexadecahydrate Al 2 (SO 4) 3 ·16H 2 O and octadecahydrate Al 2 (SO 4) 3 ·18H 2 O are the most common. The heptadecahydrate, whose formula can be written as [Al(H 2 O) 6] 2 (SO 4) 3 ·5H 2 O, occurs naturally as the ...
In most industries, the name "alum" (or "papermaker's alum") is used to refer to aluminium sulfate, Al 2 (SO 4) 3 · n H 2 O, which is used for most industrial flocculation [1]: 766 (the variable n is an integer whose size depends on the amount of water absorbed into the alum).
A variety of compounds of empirical formula AlR 3 and AlR 1.5 Cl 1.5 exist. [22] The aluminium trialkyls and triaryls are reactive, volatile, and colorless liquids or low-melting solids. They catch fire spontaneously in air and react with water, thus necessitating precautions when handling them.
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
Ammonium iron(III) sulfate, NH 4 Fe(SO 4) 2 ·12 H 2 O, or NH 4 [Fe(H 2 O) 6](SO 4) 2 ·6 H 2 O, also known as ferric ammonium sulfate (FAS) or iron alum, is a double salt in the class of alums, which consists of compounds with the general formula AB(SO 4) 2 · 12 H 2 O. [2] It has the appearance of weakly violet, octahedrical crystals.
so whats the formula? KAl(SO4)2·12(H2O) or K2SO4·Al2(SO4)3·24H2O ? mastodon 17:22, 29 May 2006 (UTC) If you look closely you'll see that the second formula is the first one doubled and rearranged, so they have the same proportions. It is confusing though; I'll try to improve it. —Keenan Pepper 04:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Sodium aluminium sulfate is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaAl(SO 4) 2 ·12H 2 O (sometimes written Na 2 SO 4 ·Al 2 (SO 4) 3 ·24H 2 O). Also known as soda alum, sodium alum, or SAS, this white solid is used in the manufacture of baking powder and as a food additive. Its official mineral name is alum-Na (IMA symbol: Aum-Na [3]).
The various crystalline forms of Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 (H 2 O) n are well-defined, often by X-ray crystallography. The nature of the aqueous solutions is often less certain, but aquo-hydroxo complexes such as [Fe(H 2 O) 6] 3+ and [Fe(H 2 O) 5 (OH)] 2+ are often assumed. [4] Regardless, all such solids and solutions feature ferric ions, each with five ...
