Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{~S}_4 \mathrm{H}_{48} \mathrm{O}_{40}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The composition of potash alum is or \[ \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \cdot \mathrm{Al}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3 \cdot 24 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \] \[ \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{~S}_4 \mathrm{H}_{48} \mathrm{O}_{40} \] It is a double salt of potassium sulphate and…
