← ScienceWhich consequence results when excess hydroxide reacts with aluminum?
A)Formation of tetrahydroxoaluminate(III) ions✓
B)Precipitation of aluminum(II) hydroxide
C)Passivation by aluminum oxide formation
D)Electrolysis of molecular water ensues
💡 Explanation
Tetrahydroxoaluminate(III) complex ions form because of hydroxide's ionic interactions modifying coordination sphere properties. This constitutes a ligand exchange mechanism, therefore the complex ions, rather than aluminum oxide or precipitate, will now be produced because the aluminum does not become insoluble.
