How would I start to tackle this problem?
![Aluminum is precipitated (initially) as Al(OH)3, then dried and ignited to Al2O3. Consider the reactions
below and answer the following questions.
Al(OH)3(s) <==> Al*³(aq) + 3 OH (aq)
1+3,
Keg = 3.0 x 10 34
Al**(aq) + 4 OH (aq) <==> Al(OH)4 (aq)
Keg
= 33
a) What problem(s) might arise in precipitating Al*3 from solution using NaOH as the precipitating
agent-particularly if an excess of the hydroxide is used?
b) How is this possible danger minimized by using aqueous NH3 as the precipitating agent?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F735d8202-51e1-473e-9450-3bb5edf67b3f%2Fa553f51e-bb49-4468-bddb-63351029e0f7%2Fnfqk9zx_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
