What is the formula for copper (III) sulfate? How is this determined?
How does the valence of each ion contribute to the formula for copper (III) sulfate?
The valence of copper is +3 and the valence of sulfate is -2. In order to balance the charges, you need two sulfate ions for every one copper (III) ion. This results in the formula CuSO4.
