Question

Write the balanced molecular chemical equation for the reaction in aqueous solution for ammonium perchlorate and aluminum nitrate. If no reaction occurs, write NR.

Answer 1

The balanced reaction is: It is a double replacement reaction.

3 NH₄ClO₄ (aq) + Al(NO₃)₃ (aq) $\rightarrow$ Al(ClO₄)₃ (aq)+ 3 NH₄NO₃ (aq)

Complete ionic equation:

3NH4+(aq) + 3ClO4-(aq) + Al3+(aq) + 3NO3-(aq) ------> Al3+(aq) + 3ClO4-(aq) + 3NH4+(aq) + 3NO3-(aq)

However, the products are all soluble in water hence there is no net reaction as such happening in this equation.

Your answer should be NR.
