What is the chemical formula of aluminum acetate?

Answer 1

Al(C2H3O2)3

- first, aluminium is in the beginning of the equation and acetate needs to be after.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 making it Al+3

-acetate has a charge of -1 and its formula is C2H3O2-

Using the crossover method, we see that it would take three acetate ions (-1 charge) to balance out the 1 Aluminium Ion (+3 charge).

So the final equation should be Al(C2H3O2)3
