Solution
Sodium aluminate reacts with water to give aluminium hydroxide as a precipitate and sodium hydroxide.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Sodium aluminate}}{NaAlO_{2(aq)}} + \underset{\text{Water}}{2H2O_{(l)}} -> \underset{\text{Sodium hydroxide}}{NaOH_{(aq)}} + \underset{\text{Aluminium hydroxide}}{Al(OH)_3↓}}\]
