The formula of complex ion formed when aluminum hydroxide dissolves in sodium hydroxide will be: Select the correct answer below: [AlOH]2+

Respuesta :

Answer:

Al(OH)₃ +  OH⁻  →  Al(OH)₄⁻

The compound is called hydroxoaluminate.

Explanation:

Aluminiun Hydroxide → Al(OH)₃

NaOH → Sodium hydroxide.

The Al(OH)₃ is an amphoteric compound, while the NaOH is a strong base. When they react, we may think that, fist of all, the base can dissociate: NaOH  →  Na⁺  +  OH⁻

So the Al(OH)₃ will be a Lewis acid, as it can donate a pair of e⁻

Al(OH)₃ +  OH⁻  →  Al(OH)₄⁻
