Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Al(OH)S1U1B13S1U1B0 is soluble at low pH because it behaves as an acid; it can react with water to form H+ ions and Al(OH)S1U1B12S1U1B- ions. As the pH approaches neutrality, the concentration of H+ ions decreases, and the concentration of Al(OH)S1U1B12S1U1B- ions increases, which leads to the precipitation of Al(OH)S1U1B13S1U1B0. At high pH, Al(OH)S1U1B13S1U1B0 is again soluble because it behaves as a base and can react with OH- ions to form Al(OH)S1U1B12S1U1B- ions.
