Pehea ka ʻokoʻa o ka Sulfate a me ka Sulfite?

Hoʻohana ʻia ka "-ate" no ka paʻakai o ka mokuʻāina hoʻohāhā kiʻekiʻe o ka mea a me ka "ite" no ka paʻakai o ke kūlana hoʻokahe haʻahaʻa e hiki mai ana. ʻO ka sulfate ke ʻano S04-2 a ʻo ka "sulfite" ke ʻano S03-2, me ka sulfur i loaʻa kahi kūlana oxidation o +6 i ka sulfate a me +4 i ka sulfite.
ʻO ka Sulphide ka S(-2), ʻo ka Sulphite ka SO3 (-1), a ʻo ka Sulphite ʻo SO4 (-2). Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, pili ka sulphide a me ka sulphite i ka pūʻulu waikawa dilute aʻo ka sulphate he hui radical kūikawā. Ma ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka H2S04 dilute, hāʻawi ka Sulphide i ke kinoea H2S a hāʻawi ka Sulphite i ke kinoea S02 a ʻo ka Sulphate he emi loa ka hana.
ʻO Sulfate nā paʻakai mineral i loaʻa i ka sulfur. ʻOiai ʻo Sulfites nā mea ʻokoʻa i loko o ka sulfur.
