Answer: X is [tex]Al_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] and Y is [tex]H_2O[/tex]
Explanation:
Neutralization reaction is defined as a double displacement reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.
The general reaction between an acid and base is represented as:
[tex]HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O[/tex]
The reaction between [tex]Al(OH)_3[/tex] and [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] is given as:
[tex]2Al(OH)_3+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3+6H_2O[/tex]
Thus X is [tex]Al_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] and Y is [tex]H_2O[/tex]
