Question

Classify Al³⁺ as an acidic or neutral cation. If it is an acidic cation, write a chemical equation showing how it acts as an acid in an aqueous solution.

Accepted Answer

Acidic; Al³⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ [Al(OH)]²⁺(aq) + H⁺(aq)

Answer

Neutral

Answer

Acidic; Al³⁺(aq) + 2 H₂O(l) ⇌ [Al(OH)₂]⁺(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq)
