Wut? But my textbook says Al2O3 + NaOH(aq) = NaAl(OH)410.8
If you used fractions, yes. If you used decimals, no.
Al2O3 + NaOH -> NaAlO2 + H2O
The first step of this is also acceptable, in that,
Al2O3 + NaOH -> Al(OH)3 + Na
I don't think. Ecf doesn't come into play here. Usually.
Lemme explain. As the NaOH is aqueous, some water takes part in the reaction too...
