Rubber · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

This is false. It's not sulfide but sulphate. Sulphide is the combination of oxygen and Sulphur. This equation only consists of aluminum and Sulphur. There isn't any oxygen so it's sulphate.

For example, carbon and oxygen equals to carbon dioxide

but if the above equation had carbon and Sulphur then the result would be aluminum sulphide.

aluminum + sulphur - --> aluminium sulphate (Al2SO4)
