Detailed Solution

The chemical formula for potash alum is KAl(SO4)2Because of the hydrolysis of Al+3 in aqueous media .It is more acidic than nature. When Al is +3 When ions are solvated by water molecules, their high electron density pulls electrons towards them, causing the electron density between O-H in solvating water molecules to decrease. As a result, protons are more likely to be absorbed by water.

Potassium alum is K2SO4.Al2(SO)4.24H2O.

Alum in aqueous solution gives a positive test for A) K+ B) Al3+ C) SO42–
