aluminum nitrate and ammonium carbonate

Explanation / Answer

Aluminium nitrate and ammonium carbonate reacts to follow double displacement reaction. The equation is

Al(NO3)3 + (NH4)2CO3 ---------> Al2(CO3)3 + NH4NO3

Now balancing the above equation, we have

2 Al(NO3)3 + 3 (NH4)2CO3 Al2(CO3)3 + 6 NH4NO3

As only Aluminium carbonate remains solid in water/aqueous solution, the net ionic reaction will become:

2Al3+(aq) + 6NO3-(aq) + 6NH4+(aq) + 3CO3^2-(aq) ----------->  Al2(CO3)3 (s) + 6NH4+(aq) + 6NO3-(aq)
