Question

When ionic solids dissolve in water, they produce soluble aqueous cations and anions. For example, adding MgBr2 solids to water will produce ions according to the dissolution reaction below.MgBr2(s) ? Mg2+(aq) + 2 Br?(aq)
solid cation anionIn this lab, you will be mixing two solutions containing soluble ions and observing any reactions that occur. Please write the dissolution reaction for the ionic solid Al(NO3)3.(Use the lowest possible coefficients. Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer. Explain each step.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Al(NO3)3(s)--------> Al^3+(aq) + 3NO3^-(aq)

Explanation:

The equation shown above describes the dissolution of Al(NO3)3 in water using the lowest coefficients.

This occurs when solid Al(NO3)3 is added to water. It dissolves to give rise to ions as shown. This is a property of all ionic substances.
