Solution

The correct option is D $F e_{2} (S O_{4})_{3}$
Ferric sulphate is represented by $F e_{2} (S O_{4})_{3}$ but the formula of
Ferrous sulphate is $F e S O_{4}$ .

So, the correct option is $D$

Why is CuSO₄the expected formula of Copper Sulphate and not Cu₂SO₄ when Copper has variable valency of Cu⁺ and Cu²⁺ ; Here the higher valency is used for the salt.

However in the case of Iron Sulphate the expected formula is FeSO₄ and not Fe₂(SO₄)₃ eventhough Iron also has variable valency of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ; Here the lesser valency is used for the salt.
