Write a balanced chemical equation for the following:
Action of heat on aluminium hydroxide.

Open in App

Solution

When aluminium hydroxide $[Al {(OH)}_{3}]$ is heated, it decompose to form aluminium oxide $({Al}_{2} O_{3})$ and water $(H_{2} O)$ .
This type of reaction is known as thermal decomposition (decomposition of a substance by the action of heat).
$2 Al {(OH)}_{3} (s) \overset{∆}{\to} {Al}_{2} O_{3} (s) + H_{2} O (l)$
