instead of using a strong alkali
ammonia can be used
when ammonia dissolves in water
it can accept protons from the water molecules to form NH4+ ions and OH- ligands
if you add excess ammonia
the H2O and OH- ligands are displaced by NH3 LIGANDS
Explain why the solution containing [Al(H2O)6] is acidic
Al3+ has a high charge density
Al3+ weakens O-H bonds in H2O and donates H+ to H2O to form H3O+
[Al(H2O)6]3+ + 3NH3 =
[Al(H2O)3(OH)3], white ppt, +3NH4+
[Al(H2O)3(OH)3] + dilute sulfuric acid=
[Al(H2O)6]3+
