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 ...
2 ·6 H 2 O, MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O and Al 2 (SO 4) 3 ·17 H 2 O. [3] [4] The Ancient Greek Herodotus mentions Egyptian alum as a valuable commodity in The Histories. [5] The production of potassium alum from alunite is archaeologically attested on the island Lesbos. [6] The site was abandoned during the 7th century CE, but dates back at least to the ...
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.
For similar reasons, anhydrous aluminium salts cannot be made by heating their "hydrates": hydrated aluminium chloride is in fact not AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O but [Al(H 2 O) 6]Cl 3, and the Al–O bonds are so strong that heating is not sufficient to break them and form Al–Cl bonds instead: [2] 2[Al(H 2 O) 6]Cl 3 Al 2 O 3 + 6 HCl + 9 H 2 O
Yttrium(III) sulfate is an inorganic compound with the formula Y 2 (SO 4) 3. The most common form is the anhydrate and octahydrate. The most common form is the anhydrate and octahydrate. Reactions
Ammonium aluminium sulfate, also known as ammonium alum or just alum (though there are many different substances also called "alum"), is a white crystalline double sulfate usually encountered as the dodecahydrate, formula (NH 4)Al(SO 4) 2 ·12H 2 O.
Potassium alum, potash alum, or potassium aluminium sulfate is a chemical compound first mentioned under various Sanskrit names in Ayurvedic medicinal texts such as charak samhita, sushrut samhita, and ashtang hridaya; is chemically defined as the double sulfate of potassium and aluminium, with chemical formula KAl(SO 4) 2.
