Solution

The correct option is A Fe2(SO4)3
The formula for the sulphate of iron with Fe in the oxidation state +3 is Fe2(SO4)3.
Each ferric ion has +3 charge. Two ferric ions have total +6 charge.
Each sulphate ion has -2 charge.
Three sulphate ions have -6 charge.
The total positive charge is equal to total negative charge.
Thus, electrical neutrality is maintained.
