Question

What occurs during a reaction of aqueous Hydrochloric Acid and Aluminum hydroxide?

Use the fact that HCl is a strong acid and is essentially completely ionized in water together with the Ksp of Aluminum Hydroxide to explain the results (aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)3, Ksp = 1x10³³) What occurs during a reaction of aqueous Hydrochloric Acid and Aluminum hydroxide?

Explanation / Answer

Al(OH)3(s)      +    3HCl(aq)    -------------------> AlCl3(aq)   +   3H2O

as HCl is strong acid its strength is sufficient to displace the OH ions from Al to form AlCl3 and H2O
