    Aluminium Acetate

    Explanation:

    Aluminium Acetate is made up of Aluminium and Acetic Acid. The chemical formula of Aluminium Acetate can be opened into its components as,

    Al (H₃CCOO) ₃ → Al⁺³ + 3 H₃CCOO⁻

    It means Aluminium Acetate is made up of one Aluminium Cation and three Acetate Anions.

    Nomenclature:

    Ionic compounds are named as the Positive specie is named first (in our case Aluminium) and the negative part is named secondly (in our case Acetate).

    Name of Acetate Ion:

    Carboxylic acids are weak acids. On donation of proton carboxylic acids are converted into Carboxylate ions as,

    R--COOH → R--COO⁻ + H⁺ (Carboxylic acid into Carboxylate)

    Examples:

    H₃C--COOH → H₃--COO⁻ + H⁺ (Acitic acid into Acetate)

    H₅C₂--COOH → H₅C₂--COO⁻ + H⁺ (Propanoic acid into Propanoate)
