Solution

$(i) A l_{2} (S O_{4})_{3}$ :
$A l$ is the symbol for aluminium and $S O_{4}$ is the symbol for sulphate. From the chemical formula, it is evident that aluminium is the cation and sulphate is the anion. We know that the name of cation precedes the anion. So, the name of the given compound is "Aluminium sulphate".
