Question

What are the complete, total ionic and net-ionic equations for the reaction that occurs when a beaker containing an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid is mixed with a beacker containing solid aluminum hydroxide? Assume the acid and base react to completion like the examples we did in class and also assume this reaction takes place in a beaker of deionized water Complets Total Ionis Net-lonic Use the beakers below to show the best representation of the sulfuric acid and aluminum hydroxide before the reaction took place. sulfuric acid aluminum hydroxide

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Chemical formulae: An acid Sulphuric acid H2SO4 and a base Aluminium hydroxide Al(OH)3.

Complete neutralization reaction:

3 H2SO4 + 2 Al(OH)3. ---------> Al2(SO4)3 (s) + 6 H2O.

Total ionic equation:

3 H2SO4 (aq) ------> 6 H+ (aq) + 3 SO42- (aq).

2 Al(OH)3 (aq) --------> 2 Al3+ (aq) + 3 HO- (aq).

On adding separate ionic equations,

6 H+ (aq) + 3 SO42- (aq) + 2 Al3+ (aq) + 3 HO- (aq) ------> Al2(SO4)3 (s) + 6 H2O.

Net ionic equation:

3 SO42- (aq) + 2 Al3+ (aq) -------------> Al2(SO4)3 (s).
