Given the molecule:

Al2 (SO4)3

Determine the number of atoms that the molecule contains.

Solution:

In order to determine the number of atoms that the molecule contains, we simply take a look at the chemical formula.

Al2 = 2 ions

(SO4)3 = 3 ions

If we multiply 3 to the number of Oxygen atoms which is 4, hence we will have a total of 12 atoms.

Final answer:

12 Atoms
