Question

question 48 (4 points) give the systematic name for al(c2h3o2)3 (credit will not be given for older style names)

Explanation:

The compound contains aluminum (Al) and acetate ($C_2H_3O_2^-$) ions. In naming ionic compounds, the metal (aluminum) is named first, followed by the name of the poly - atomic anion (acetate). Since there are three acetate ions, the prefix 'tri -' is not used for the anion in this case as aluminum has a fixed charge of +3 and the formula is already balanced.

Answer:

Aluminum acetate
