Question
What is the product result from Al2(OH)+HNO3?

Answer
Al2(OH) is not a normal form of aluminum hydroxide.  It should be

Al(OH)3(s) + 3HNO3 = H2O(l) + Al(NO3)3 (total reaction)

Al(OH)3(s) + 3H+ + 3NO3- = H2O + Al+3 + 3NO3- (total ionic)

Al(OH)3(s) + 3H+ = H2O + Al+3 (net ionic)


In very dilute solution, the Al(OH)3 will be soluble and the net ionic will be

OH- + H+ = H2O
