Answer:

aluminum forms a complex ion with excess hydroxide

Explanation:

Complex formation accounts for the dissolution of certain compounds. For instance,reaction of aluminum and sodium hydroxide yields insoluble aluminum hydroxide as follows;

Al(s) + 3NaOH(aq) -----> Al(OH)3(s) +Na(s)

However, in excess NaOH, the solid aluminum hydroxide dissolves as due to the formation of a complex Al(OH)4^- in the solution.

Equations can be balanced by using the half-reaction method. Which step should be completed immediately after finding the oxidat
Dovator [93]
After finding the oxidation states of atoms, you identify the half reactions (option c).

The half reactions are given by the change of the oxidation states of the atoms.

For example if Cu is in the left side with oxidation state 0 and in the other side with oxidation state 2+, then there you have a half reaction (oxidation reaction). And if you have O with oxidation state 0 in the left side  and with oxidation state 2- in the right side, there you have other half reaction (reducing reaction).

Which answer below correctly the type of change and explanation for the separation of the iron with sulfur?
valina [46]
Chemical reaction is a process in which one set of chemical substances (reactants) is converted into another (products). It involves making and breaking chemical bonds and the rearrangement of atoms. Chemical reactions are represented by balanced chemical equations, with chemical formulas symbolizing reactants and products. For specific chemical reactants, two questions may be posed about a possible chemical reaction. First, will a reaction occur? Second, what are the possible products if a reaction occurs? This

How does the density of aluminum compare with the density of gold
rewona [7]
Gold has a very high density of about 19.32g/cm^3 while Aluminum has a low density of 2.7 gm/cm^3 which means gold can pack more amount of matter in a comparatively small space as compared to Aluminum.
