(b) What mass of precipitate forms when 185.5 mL of 0.533 M NaOH is added to 627 mL of a solution that contains 15.8 g of aluminum sulfate per liter?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
(a)
The balanced molecular equation for the reaction is:
The complete ionic equation can be given as:
The spectator ions can be ruled ot to obtain the net ionic equation as:
