What do you observe when freshly percipitated aluminium hydroxide react with costic soda solution? Give balance equation.
Aluminium hydroxide [Al(OH)3] will react with NaOH solution (caustic soda solution) to form Sodium Aluminate (NaAlO2) and water. The balanced chemical equation is :
Al(OH)3 + NaOH → NaAlO2 + H2O.
