Metal ions in aqueous solutions are solvated, or hydrated, by water molecules. Typically this primary hydration sphere is composed of six water molecules. The hydrated metal ion acts as a weak acid, undergoing a stepwise hydrolysis in which it donates an H+ ion from its water ligands to the surrounding free water molecules. Shown is the hydrolysis of AI(H₂O) (pK, = 4.85) in water. AI(H₂O) (aq) + H₂O(1) H₂O¹ (aq) + Al(H₂O),OH²+ (aq) Calculate the pH of a 0.00159 M AICI, solution and determine what fraction of the aluminum is in the form Al(H₂O),OH²+. pH = 3.85 AICH,O), (OH)²+ 06 Enter numeric value

A highly acidic (pH< 0.5) industrial wastewater has an initial AlP" concentration of 10 ppm. An engineer decides that strong base should be added to the wastewater in order to raise the pH so that most of the aluminum will precipitate and be removed from solution. The pertinent solubility reaction from Appendix A of our text is: Al(OH)3 (s) → Al* + 30H¯ with pK, = 32.9 a. What is the lowest pH needed to precipitate all but 50 ppb of the aluminum from the wastewater? Assume equilibrium conditions can be achieved. b. Suppose the engineer decides that the pH should be raised to 7. What equilibrium concentration of aluminum would be left in solution? Report your answer in ppb and moles per liter.
