What Is The Balanced Equation, The Complete Ionic Equation, And The Net Ionic Equation For The Reaction Between Aluminum Sulfate And Sodium Hydroxide?

Aluminum sulfate reacts with sodium hydroxide to yield sodium sulfate and aluminum hydroxide.

Al₂(SO₄)₃ ------ > 2Al⁺³ + 3SO₄^-2

NaOH ------ > Na⁺¹ + OH^-1

Al⁺³ + 3OH^-1 ------ > Al(OH)₃

2Na⁺¹ + SO₄^-2 ------ > Na₂SO₄

The net ionic equation for the reaction is;

Al₂(SO₄)₃ (aq) + 6NaOH (aq) -----> 3Na₂SO₄ (aq) + 2Al(OH)₃ (s)

One mole of aluminum sulfate combines with six moles of sodium hydroxide to form three moles of sodium sulfate and two moles of aluminum hydroxide.
