Question

The compound aluminum nitrate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid aluminum nitrate is put into water:

Answer 1

Answer: The chemical equation is written below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aluminium nitrate is formed by the combination of aluminium ions and nitrate ions. This is an ionic compound.

When this compound is dissolved in water, it leads to the ionization of the salt. Ionization of salt is defined as the process in which a salt dissociates into its respective ions.

The chemical equation when aluminium nitrate is dissolved in water follows:

`Al(NO_3)_2(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow Al^(3+)(aq.)+3NO_3^-(aq.)`

Hence, the chemical equation is written above.

Answer 2

Hello!

Strong electrolytes dissociate completely into their individual ions when put into water. Aluminum Nitrate (Al(NO₃)₃) is a strong electrolyte, so when put into water the dissociation reaction would be the following:

Al(NO₃)₃(s) → Al⁺³(aq) + 3NO₃⁻(aq)

In this reaction, we can observe the complete dissociation of Aluminum Nitrate, the symbol (aq) means that this ion is dissolved in water.

Have a nice day!
