Alright, this compound is called "Ferrous Hydrogen Sulfate"
How would I write it out? I think it's F2H2(SO4)3.... but I could use some help.

Ferrous Hydrogen Sulfate is also called Iron (II) Hydrogen Sulfate.
Fe(HSO4)2 although FeH2(SO4)2 would also be correct.
The Hydrogen Sulfate anion is a Sulfuric acid with a single proton (Hydrogen) removed. It has the formula:
(HSO4)-1
It takes two of these to balance the charges on the Ferrous (+2)cation.

ferrous means containing iron in the +2 oxidation state. thus Fe2+
a hydrogen ion (H+) combines with the sulphate anion SO4 (2-) forming hydrogen sulphate : HSO4minus (ceck the charge u will se why it has a single negative charge)
thus by crossing over the fmla is
Fe(HSO4)2

i think you're right since all the charges balance
