Question
Explain the following reaction.
Hydrated alumina is treated with aqueous NaOH solution.
Advertisements
Solution
When hydrated alumina is added to sodium hydroxide, the former dissolves in the latter because of the formation of sodium meta-aluminate.
\[\ce{Al_2O_3 . 2H_2O + 2NaOH -> 2 NaAlO_2+ 3H_2O}\]
