Answer to Question #188754 in Inorganic Chemistry for Shalini

Question

Write the balanced net ionic equation for sodium aluminate

Answer 1

The unbalanced molecular equation is:Al2(SO4)3+NaOH→Al(OH)3​↓+Na2SO4​
The unbalanced complete ionic equation isAl3++SO42+Na++OH−→Al(OH)3​↓+Na++SO42−​
The balanced net ionic equation isAl3++3OH−→Al(OH)3↓
The balanced net ionic equation for the reaction of aluminum sulfate and sodium hydroxide contains term 3 OH−
