The Ferrous ion has a '2+' charge. Hence the formula for ferrous sulphate is FeSO4. NB The Ferric ion has a '3+' charge. Hence the formula for ferric sulphate is Fe2(SO4)3
The formula for a sulphate ion is SO42- so the valency of a sulphate ion is -2.
sulphate ion is not amphoteric because according to Bronsted-Lowry concept an amphoteric specie is that which can donate as well as accept aproton but sulphate ion is not capable of donating proton so it is not amphoteric
Sulphuric Acid No - H2SO4 is sulphuric acid. SO4 on its own like this is sulphur tetroxide SO4 2- would be the sulphate ion.
SO4^2-
The Ferrous ion has a '2+' charge. Hence the formula for ferrous sulphate is FeSO4. NB The Ferric ion has a '3+' charge. Hence the formula for ferric sulphate is Fe2(SO4)3
The Sulphate ion
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.
Iron (II) sulphate has the formula FeSO4. The sulphate ion has a 2- charge, and the iron (II) ion has a 2+ charge, so only one of each ion is needed to form a neutral iron (II) sulphate compound.
the chemical formula of zinc sulphate is ZnSO4.
The formula of the sulphate ion is SO42-
Yes, it consists of 4 oxygen atoms bonded to 1 sulfur atom. The whole ion has a 2- charge.
No
The formula for a sulphate ion is SO42- so the valency of a sulphate ion is -2.
Sulfate is a negative ion composed of the nonmetals sulfur and oxygen bus is itself not a metal or a nonmetal. The sulfate ion does not exist as a substance on its own. Its charge must be balanced by a positive ion the identity of that ion is variable.
sulphate ion is not amphoteric because according to Bronsted-Lowry concept an amphoteric specie is that which can donate as well as accept aproton but sulphate ion is not capable of donating proton so it is not amphoteric
Sulphate compounds are compounds that contain the sulfate ion, SO42-.
