If you look closely you'll see that the second formula is the first one doubled and rearranged, so they have the same proportions. It is confusing though; I'll try to improve it. —

This page refers to the same compond as
Alum. It would be less confusing to merge both.
Alum is a general term for the dodecahydate of sulfate (or selenate, tellurate, etc.) of aluminum (or even some trivalent metal) and some other monovalent cation, all with the same structure. This page is for the potassium alum specifically. Confusingly
aluminum sulfate is also called "alum" in some industries. I tried to sort that out and move material to the proper pages. --

In
Siddha Medicinse with name Paddikaram as 'Parppam', 'Chenduram' and 'Neer' etc...[1][2]
The alum block pictured is Ammonium Alum not Potassium Alum (can be ascertained by sniffing the item in water) so is probably another commercial plug.
