Give balanced equation for the action of heat on aluminium hydroxide.

Open in App

Solution

It is a decomposition reaction brought about by heat.
It is also known as thermal decomposition.
Thermal decomposition reactions refer to the chemical reaction which decomposes on heating to form many products.
Aluminum hydroxide ( $Al {(OH)}_{3}$ )on thermal decomposition produce aluminum oxide ( ${Al}_{2} O_{3}$ ) and water ( $H_{2} O$ ).
$\underset{Aluminum hydroxide}{2 Al {(OH)}_{3} (aq)} \overset{∆}{\to} \underset{Aluminum oxide}{{Al}_{2} O_{3} (s)} + \underset{water}{3 H_{2} O (l)}$
