How do I write the formula for: Ferric hydrogen sulphate, Tungsten (V) peroxide, Nitric acid and Aluminum acetate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ferric hydrogen sulphate - Fe(HSO4)2? Tungsten (B) peroxide - W2(O2)5 Nitric Acid - HNO3 (aq) Aluminum acetate - Al(C2H3O2)3 or Al(CH3COO)3?

Hello again lol -ic suffix would be the higher valence, which is +3 for Fe. Ferric hydrogen sulfate would be Fe(HSO4)3. Tungsten (V) peroxide is correct. Nitric acid is correct. Aluminum acetate is correct. Either way you wrote it is fine, but I generally use CH3COO- for acetate since it shows the structure and is commonly used anyways. C2H3O2- could have other isomers and so is slightly more ambiguous. I use (OOCCOO)2- for oxalate for the same reason.
