Question

Aqueous solutions of Al3+ are acidic due to the following reaction:

Al(H2O)  3+6 (aq) → Al(H2O)5OH2+ (aq) +  H+(aq)

If the concentrations of H+ and Al(H2O)5OH2+ are found to be (2.74x10^-3) M in a solution that was initially (1.3x10^-1) M in Al(H2O)63+, calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction.  (Hint:  Make a RICE table to solve this problem).

Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.
Expert Solution
Step 1

We are given 

concentrations of H+ and Al(H2O)5OH2+ are found to be (2.74x10^-3) M 

(1.3x10^-1) M in Al(H2O)63+
