sulfates

Sulfate is a salt that forms when sulfuric acid reacts with another chemical. It’s a broader term for other synthetic sulfate-based chemicals you may be concerned about, such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES).  sulphate ion is a polyatomic anion with the empirical formula SO²⁻ ₄. Sulfate is the spelling recommended by IUPAC, but sulphate is used in British English. Salts, acid derivatives, and peroxides of sulfate are widely used in industry.  examples of sulfates: Many of the sulfate minerals are salts of more than one metal, such as polyhalite, which is a combination of potassium, calcium, and magnesium sulfates. Sulfate minerals common in evaporite deposits include anhydrite, gypsum, thenardite (Na₂SO₄), epsomite (MgSO. 7H₂O), glauberite [Na₂Ca(SO₄)₂], kainite (MgSO.
