History Some sulfates were known to alchemists: - vitriol salts, from the Latin vitreolum, glassy, were so-called because they were some of the first transparent crystals known. --- green vitriol is ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, FeSO4·7H2O; --- blue vitriol is copper sulfate pentahydrate, CuSO4·5H2O --- white vitriol is zinc sulfate heptahydrate, ZnSO4·7H2O. - Alum, a double sulfate with the formula K2Al2(SO4)4·24H2O, figured in the development of the chemical industry. ______________________________________________ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate#History ======================================================= Etymology - sulfate (n.) - salt of sulfuric acid, 1790 (sulphat), - from French sulphate (1787), - from Modern Latin sulphatum acidum, - from Latin sulpur, sulphur (see sulfur) + chemical ending -ate ___________________________________________________ http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=sulfate
