No, sulfate has a negative charge of 2. The formula for sulfate is SO4 2- where "-2" is the charge.
Sulfate is a negative ion with the formula SO42- in order to balance the charge there needs to be a positive ion, which usually is a metal ion, but not always. However, the sulfate ion itself is not a metal nor does it contain a metal.
BaSO4 is barium as well as a sulfate anion. The overall charge of BaSO4 includes a +2 charge for barium, and a -2 charge for the sulfate anion.
Copper sulfate has CuSO4 as its formula. Copper sulfate is also written copper (II) sulfate.
The charge on sulphate ions is 2- (SO42-).
The species in question is the sulfate ion, which has a 2- charge. It is thus properly written as SO42-
Positive
The charge on a sulfate anion is -2.
The answer is yes because sulfate is only soluble to any positive ion and tin (Sn) happened to to be a cation with a positive 4 charge so that makes Sn(SO3)4 soluble .
Yes. The charge on Na (sodium) ions is 1+ and the charge on a SO4 (sulfate) ion is 2-. So to balance out the charges 2 sodium ions are needed for every sulfate ion.
Sulfate is a negative ion with the formula SO42- in order to balance the charge there needs to be a positive ion, which usually is a metal ion, but not always. However, the sulfate ion itself is not a metal nor does it contain a metal.
Sulfate ion is SO42-, so the charge is -2.
Sulfate is SO4 with a -2 charge.
BaSO4 is barium as well as a sulfate anion. The overall charge of BaSO4 includes a +2 charge for barium, and a -2 charge for the sulfate anion.
The total positive charge of the cation, which is the iron ion in this case.
Copper sulfate has CuSO4 as its formula. Copper sulfate is also written copper (II) sulfate.
2-
A polyatomic ion is held together by covalent bonds between atoms. They can be either positive or negative. For example, the ammonium ion, NH4+, has a positive charge, and the sulfate ion, SO42-, has a negative charge.
