Sure. Al2(SO4)3 is the formula for aluminum sulfate.

It is soluble in water and is mainly used as a flocculating agent in the purification of drinking water[2][3]and waste water treatment plants, and also in paper manufacturing.

  • Al2SO43, is impossible as 43 oxygen atoms cannot possibly bind this way
  • Al2(SO4)3, is correct as aluminum has a valence of 3 and the sulfate radical has a valence of 2
