Question
  1. Aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3 is sparingly soluble in water.

              The Ksp value at 25°C is 2.0 x 10-33

1.1. Write an equation for this reaction

 

1.2. Calculate the solubility of aluminium hydroxide.

  1. Aluminum hydroxide reacts with an excess of hydroxide ions to form the complex ion Al(OH)4-.

2.1.Write an equation for this reaction.

2.2. Write an equation for the formation of the complex ion Al(OH)4-. The value of Kf for this reaction = 1.0 x 1033.

2.3. Show that Keq for the reaction between aluminum hydroxide and hydroxide is: Keq = Ksp x Kf

2.4. Calculate Keq for this reaction

  1. Determine the solubility of Al(OH)3 (in mol/L) in the following solutions
    • When the pH = 12.0.
    • A 0.010 M solution of HNO3
    • A 0.010 M solution of acetic acid. Ka = 1.8 x 10-5
