The aluminum ion is Al^3+ and the sulfate ion is SO4^2-
The chemical formula for aluminium sulfate is Al2(SO4)3. This compound is an ionic compound made up of aluminium ions (Al3+) and sulfate ions (SO4 2-).
Yes if it's molten or dissolved in water as the ions (charged particles) can move. No when in solid state as the ions can't move out of position so there is/are no charge/ no free electrons.
Crystals or lumps of aluminium sulphate can be any size.
aluminum sulphate is colourless
No, it is not harmful, it is a water soluble compound and remains as free ions in water.

Ammonium sulphate consists of two ions: ammonium (NH4+) and sulphate (SO4^2-).
Aluminium is more reactive than iron (Fe) according to the reactivity series of metals. Thus, when Ferrous Sulphate solution is stored in Aluminium can, Aluminium being more reactive, displaces iron from its solution to form Aluminium sulphate and iron. :)
Ammonium sulphate is (NH4)2 SO4.Alums are double sulphates containing for example aluminium ions. Ammonium alum is a name given to ammonium aluminium sulphate, (NH4) Al (SO4)2.12H2O
The charge of sulfate ions is 2-.
the aluminium is split with the sulphate ion. this leaves the sulphate on its own with a charge. the copper then takes the place of the aluminium turning the charge of the sulphate ion to neutral, this leaves the aluminium and copper sulphate.
