Question

Classify $$Al^{3+} as an $$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; $$Al^{3+}(aq$$) + $$H_{2}O(l$$) ⇌ [Al(OH)]^{2+}(aq) + $$H^{+}(aq)$$

Answer

Neutral

Answer

Acidic; $$Al^{3+}(aq) + 2$$ $$H_{2}O(l$$) ⇌ [Al(OH)_{2}]^{+}(aq) + 2 $$H^{+}(aq)$$

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.

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.
