Solution
The correct option is D 3 OH− (aq) The unbalanced molecular equation is: Al2(SO4)3+NaOH→Al(OH)3↓+Na2SO4 The unbalanced complete ionic equation is Al3++SO2−4+Na++OH−→Al(OH)3↓+Na++SO2−4 The balanced net ionic equation is Al3++3OH−→Al(OH)3↓ The balanced net ionic equation for the reaction of aluminum sulfate and sodium hydroxide contains term 3 OH−
