[Al(H2O)6]3+ + NaOH
Dropwise
Reaction, Reaction type, Observation
[Al(H2O)6]3+ + 3OH- → Al(H2O)3(OH)3 +3H2O
Hydrolysis
White ppt is formed
[Al(H2O)6]3+ + NaOH
In excess
Reaction, Reaction type, Observation
Al(H2O)3(OH)3 + OH- → [Al(H2O)2(OH)4]- + H2O
Hydrolysis
white ppt is redissolved
Which has the greater acidity [M(H2O)6]2+ or [M(H2O)6]3+
[M(H2O)6]3+ has the greater acidity
Electron pairs are being pulled away form the oxygen towards the central ion more strongly
The electron pairs in the OH bond are pulled even closer to the oxygen
Hydrogen is made even more positive
Therefore Hydrogen ion is more likely to be lost
When the metal ions are acting as an acid which reaction do they undergo
