MCQ
The formula of alum is
  • ${K_2}S{O_4}.A{l_2}{(S{O_4})_3}.24{H_2}O$
  • B
    ${K_4}[Fe{(CN)_6}]$
  • C
    ${K_2}S{O_4}.A{l_2}{(S{O_4})_3}.6{H_2}O$
  • D
    $N{a_2}C{O_3}.10{H_2}O$

Answer

Correct option: A.
${K_2}S{O_4}.A{l_2}{(S{O_4})_3}.24{H_2}O$
a
(a)General formula for alum is

${M_2}S{O_4}.{R_2}{(S{O_4})_3}.24{H_2}O$

$M = $ mono valent cation $({K^ + },\,N{a^ + }....)$

$R = $Trivalent cation $(A{l^{ + 3}},\,F{e^{ + 3}})$

Hence, ${K_2}S{O_4}A{l_2}{(S{O_4})_2}.24{H_2}O$ represent an alum.
