Write the equation for the action of heat on aluminium hydroxide.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To write the equation for the action of heat on aluminium hydroxide, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the reactant The reactant in this case is aluminium hydroxide, which has the chemical formula Al(OH)₃. ### Step 2: Understand the reaction When aluminium hydroxide is heated, it decomposes into aluminium oxide and water. The products of this reaction are aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) and water (H₂O). ...
