The Color Of sulphate

2003

Well Hullo There,

Is there such thing as Sulphate on its own, and if so, what color is it? HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Thanks,

"On its own" is perhaps sort of anthropomorphic. A process solution cannot have only negatively charged ions, so I'd say there is not such a thing. But think about what sulfuric acid is, and what color it is, and that's probably as close to sulphate being "on its own" as you'll get.

Now, why do you ask?
