When potassium alum, KAl(SO
4)
2 is dissolved in water, it does not yield any pure Al
3+ ions, however is it something like KAl
n+ + (SO
4)
n-2 ?
It's been a while since I studied chemistry, so I'm unable to find the correct charge transfers here, but I'm very curious about this compound, since I prefer it over regular deodorants based on AlCl
3, purely because Al is an accumulated poison.
