In this question we want to determine the products of this reaction.
00:07
As we're looking at this we see that the aluminum hydroxide contains the hydroxide ion, making this a base.
00:16
The hno3 has an h plus ion leading off, which means that this is an acid.
00:23
So what we have here is known as a neutralization reaction.
00:27
A neutralization reaction is a special type of double replacement reaction in which we react an acid with a base and they can be written in either order.
00:42
So in our instance we have the base first, but the acid plus the base gives us a salt, which is an ionic compound.
00:49
It doesn't have to be nacl, it just salt just means ionic compound in chemistry and water.
01:00
All right, so let's look at what we get here.
01:02
Our salt is going to be the aluminum with the nitrate, giving us al with its three plus charge and nitrate.
01:16
We need three of those since it has a single negative charge.
01:20
Well all nitrates are soluble, so that's going to be aqueous.
01:24
And then our other product is h2o.
01:27
We get the hydrogen combining with the oh giving us h2o...
