The following reaction scheme is given: Aluminum metal added to a strong base aqueous solution provides a colorless solution (A), releasing a colorless gas (B). Introduction of carbon dioxide gas into (A) precipitates a white gelatinous precipitate (C). (C) is divided into two equal parts. To one portion, excess sodium hydroxide solution is added, dissolving the precipitate to a colorless solution (D). By annealing the other part of (C) at high temperature, an anhydrous white oxide (E) is formed. Write the corresponding equilibrium chemical equations for the described reactions and name the chemical forms (A) to (E).
