Which formula/name pair is incorrect? A. FeSO₄ – iron(II) sulfate B. Fe₂(SO₃)₃ – iron(III) sulfite C. FeS – iron(II) sulfide D. FeSO₃ – iron(II) sulfite E. Fe₂(SO₄)₃ – iron(III) sulfide

Answer: E

Explanation: In Fe₂(SO₄)₃ the three sulfate ions give total charge \(3\times(-2)=-6\), so the two Fe atoms must supply \(+6\) total, i.e. each Fe is \(+3\). The correct name is iron(III) sulfate, not iron(III) sulfide.
