Consider the formation of gibbsite from dissolved aluminum as depicted below:

Al3+    +       OH- -->         Al(OH)3 (gibbsite)

  • a) balance this reaction (if necessary)
  • b) predict how many mg of Al(OH)3 would be formed if 3 mg of Al3+ are dissolved in 1 l of water and “unlimited” OH- is available (assume this reaction goes completely to the right; there’s no worry about equilibrium dissolved Al3+).
### Formation of Gibbsite from Dissolved Aluminum

Consider the formation of gibbsite from dissolved aluminum as depicted below:

\[ \text{Al}^{3+} + \text{OH}^- \rightarrow \text{Al(OH)}_3 \text{ (gibbsite)} \]

**a)** Balance this reaction (if necessary) and  
**b)** Predict how many mg of Al(OH)₃ would be formed if 3 mg of Al³⁺ are dissolved in 1 L of water and "unlimited" OH⁻ is available (assume this reaction goes completely to the right; there’s no worry about equilibrium dissolved Al³⁺).
