Question

I am having difficulty understanding on how to findreaction products when two reactants are added together. For example: P + O2(excess) =P2O5 These are the ones Im having problems with: (these equationsdont need to be balanced) Al + OH-(concentrated)= ? Al + H+= ? NaCl(s) + H20 (l)=?

Explanation / Answer

Al + OH- --> Al (OH)3 This produces Aluminum hydroxide. Al in this case has a + 3charge OH has a -3 charge to make this a neutral solid. NaCl(s) + H20 --> NaOH +HCL   -> OH- and Na+ ions Please rate, thanks
