Question
What occurs during a reaction of aqueous Hydrochloric Acid and Aluminum hydroxide?Use the fact that HCl is a strong acid and is essentially completely ionized in water together with the Ksp of Aluminum Hydroxide to explain the results (aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)3, Ksp = 1x10³³) What occurs during a reaction of aqueous Hydrochloric Acid and Aluminum hydroxide?

Explanation / Answer
Al(OH)3(s) + 3HCl(aq) -------------------> AlCl3(aq) + 3H2O
as HCl is strong acid its strength is sufficient to displace the OH ions from Al to form AlCl3 and H2O
