Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3NaOH(s) --> Al(OH)3 (s) + 3NaNO3 (aq)
The precipitate here is Al(OH)3 (s), since the solid reactant is the precipitate in the aqueous solution. Usually, it is okay to assume in basic chemistry that the transition metal is going to be part of the compound that is the precipitate, especially in an acidic salt and a strong base reaction that we have here.
Answer:
Explanation:
The major difference between pure and applied chemistry is the purpose and intent of the study.
Pure chemistry deals with the study of matter, matter transformations, and interactions between the different materials of the world, for only the sake of gaining empirical knowledge about the various substances that exist in the world. It does not really seek to apply this knowledge to do anything industrial.
Applied chemistry is the study of chemistry with the aim of utilizing this knowledge to solve the various problems that man faces. This approach of study is not for knowledge sake alone, rather it is for industrial application

Full question options;
(Fe, Pb, Mg, or Ca)
Answer:
Iron - Fe
Explanation:
We understand tht metals pretty much form bonds by losing their valence (outermost electrons). But this question specifically asks for metals that lose beyond their outermost electrons; next to outermost principal energy levels.
Pb, Mg, and Ca only lose their outermost electrons to form the following ions;
Pb2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.
This is because their ions have achieved a stable octet configuration - the dreamland of atoms where they are satisfied and don't need to go into reactions again.
Iron on the other hand has the following electronic configurations;
Fe: [Ar]4s2 3d6
Fe2+: [Ar]4s0 3d6
Fe3+: [Ar]4s0 3d5
This means ion can lose both the ooutermost electrons (4s) and next to outermost principal energy levels (3d). So correct option is Iron.
