Solid aluminum hydroxide reacts with a solution of hydrobromic acid. write a balanced molecular equation and a balanced net ionic equation, including the states of each species.

Respuesta :

To find the balanced molecular equation, we need to find the symbols for each element and their charges and then balanced the equation. This comes out to: Al(OH)3(aq) + 3HBR(aq) ---> AlBr3(aq) + 3H2O(l) The net ionic equation is adding the charges and separating them into basic components. Al3+ + 3OH- + 3H+ + 3BR- --> Al3+ + 3Br + H3O+ We can cancel out the aluminum and bromine to get: 3OH-(aq) + 3H+(aq) --> 3H2O(l)

A balanced chemical equation is a description of chemical elements in the form of numbers and atoms. The reactants are shown on the left side while the right side depicts the products.

  • Solid aluminium hydroxide yields an acid-base effect with a solution of hydrobromic acid to produce aluminium bromide.

  • The balanced molecular equation for aluminium hydroxide and hydrobromic acid can be written as:

       Al(OH)₃(aq) +  HBr(aq) ---> AlBr₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

It can be balanced as:

  • Bromide can be balanced by adding 3 as a coefficient in front of hydrobromic acid on the left side.

        Al(OH)₃(aq) + 3 HBr(aq) ---> AlBr₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

  • The hydrogen atom can be balanced by adding 3 as a coefficient in front of the water molecule on the right side of the reaction.

       Al(OH)₃(aq) + 3 HBr(aq) ---> AlBr₃(aq) + 3 H₂O(l)

  • Therefore, the balanced equation is:

       Al(OH)₃(aq) + 3 HBr(aq) ---> AlBr₃(aq) + 3 H₂O(l)

  • Next, the ionic equation can be written by adding the charges and separating the compounds in the basic form:

        Al³⁺ + 3 OH⁻ + 3H⁺ + 3 Br- --> Al³⁺ + 3 Br + H₃O⁺

  • Removing the aluminium and bromine ions from the reaction we will get:

      3 OH⁻(aq) + 3H⁺(aq) --> 3H₂O(l)
