Understanding the Options
- FeSO₄ - This is ferrous sulphate, with iron in the +2 state.
- FeSO₃ - This represents iron(II) sulphite, not sulphate.
- Fe(SO₄)₂ - This formula suggests a different stoichiometry and is not correct for ferric sulphate.
- Fe₂(SO₄)₃ - Correctly indicates ferric sulphate with two iron atoms and three sulphate groups.
Thus, the right answer is D. Fe₂(SO₄)₃.
