salt or ester of sulfuric acid
(Redirected from Sulfate)
In chemistry, a sulphate (sulfate US English) is a salt of sulphuric acid. The sulphate ion is a group of atoms with the formula SO4 and two negative charges. It consists of a central sulphur atom surrounded by four (equivalent) oxygen atoms. It occurs when sulfuric acid loses two proteins. If it is only loses one, a hydrogen sulfate ion is made.
