Examples of applications:
- in the leather industry, for tanning
- in cosmetics industry, as an additive for antiperspirants
- in petroleum industry
- as corrosion inhibitor
- as nitrating agent
- preparation of insulating papers containing alumina
- laboratory use as a common chemical of aluminium
etc.
It's part of the ingredients of the solid rocket fuel used in the space shuttle's solid rocket boosters. It is the propellant. The oxidizer is just aluminum.
No. It is a type of compound. It is a salt.
Water purification and antiperspirants.
Yes.
The reaction forms aluminum sulfate and frees copper.
1 formula unit of aluminum sulfate has the formula Al2(SO4)3. So there are 2 atoms of aluminum, 3 atoms of sulfur and 12 atoms of oxygen in 1 formula unit of aluminum sulfate. There are no molecules of aluminum sulfate. They are called formula units.
No. Aluminum sulfate is a compound of aluminum, sulfur, and oxygen.
There are 3 ions in the formula Al2SO4 (2 aluminum and 1 sulfate), but this formula is wrong. The formula of aluminum sulfate is Al2(SO4)3 which contains 5 ions: 2 aluminum ions and 3 sulfate ions.
Aluminium sulfate is an industrial chemical used as a flocculating agent in the purification of drinking water and waste water treatment plants, and also in paper manufacturing.
Aluminum Sulfide ==> Al2S3 Aluminum Sulfate ==> Al2(SO4)3 Aluminum sulfide is just aluminum and sulfur, while aluminum sulfate is Aluminum plus Sulfate (Polyatomic ion made of sulfur and oxygen)
yes
the percentage composition of aluminum sulfate is 342

Alum is the common name for aluminum potassium sulfate or aluminum sulfate.
No. Aluminum sulfate is a compound of aluminum, sulfur, and oxygen.
There are 12 oxygen atoms in a molecule of aluminum sulfate. The formula for aluminum sulfate is Al2(SO4)3. This tells us there are 3 sulfate ions, each with 4 oxygen atoms per sulfate, so 3 * 4 = 12.== ==

It is used in antiperspirants and to remove suspended particles during water purification.
4,12 grams aluminum sulfate is equivalent to 0,012 moles (for the anhydrous salt).
