What are the two different ions present in the compound al(no3)3?
1 answer:
and
Aluminum nitrate is an ionic compound, meaning that it is made up cations and anions. By convention when writing the formula for an ionic compounds the cation part shall be placed in front the anions. Thus the cation would contain aluminum and the anion shall be a polyatomic nitrate ion consisting of nitrogen and oxygen. The bracket with subscript 3 attached resembles the ratio between the two species, aluminum ions and nitrate ions. For each aluminum ion in the compound there shall be three corresponding nitrate ions.
Aluminum form ions of charge +3 whereas nitrate ions are of charge -1. Write the charge of the ion as the superscript in reverse (i.e., write as in
and
in
, omitting any 1.)

Answer:
Reaction 1 is balanced but 2 is not balanced , the balance equation are :
1.
2.
Explanation:
Balanced Equations : These are the equation which follows the law of conservation of mass .
The total number of atoms present in reactant is equal to total number of atoms present in product.
1.
This is acid - base type reaction where
act as Acid
act as weak base
Reactant : ,
Number of atoms of :
C = 2 () + 1 (
)
= 2 + 1
= 3
H = 4() + 1 (
)
= 4 + 1
5
O = 2() + 3 (
)
= 5
Na = 1 ()
= 1
Product : ,
,
Number of atoms :
C = 1() + 2(
)
= 1 + 2
= 3
H = 2() + 3(
)
= 2 + 3
= 5
O = 1() + 2(
)
+2(
= 1 + 2 + 2
= 5
Na = 1(
= 1
Number of Na =1 , C = 3 , H= 5 and O =5 in both reactant and product , so it is a balanced reaction
2.
This is double displacement reaction .
Check the balancing in both reactant and products should be :
Na = 2
H = 2
Ca = 1
C = 2
O = 6
Cl = 2
