Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This balanced ionic equation shows the reaction between Al(OH)₃, an amphoteric hydroxide, and KOH. The products are K[Al(OH)₄], which is a salt. This reaction is typical of amphoteric hydroxides, which can behave as both an acid and a base depending on the reacting species.

Al(OH)3 Is an Amphoteric Hydroxide →\rarr→ K[Al(OH)4]

Al(OH)₃ Is an Amphoteric Hydroxide $\rarr$ K[Al(OH)₄]
