I was wondering that if you wrapped some Epsom salt in aluminum foil and set it on fire would you get aluminum sulphate and magnesium oxide, I couldn't find anything about this on the internet




Aluminum oxide does not react with sulphates, even at high temperature. Anyway, aluminum sulphate does not support high temperatures : it is easily decomposed at around 700°C.
