  • Aluminum Hydroxide Formation: A Combination Reaction Explained
    The combination reaction that produces aluminum hydroxide from aluminum oxide and water is:

    Al₂O₃ (s) + 3H₂O (l) → 2Al(OH)₃ (s)

    Here's a breakdown of the reaction:

    * Al₂O₃ (s) represents solid aluminum oxide.

    * H₂O (l) represents liquid water.

    * Al(OH)₃ (s) represents solid aluminum hydroxide.

    This reaction is an example of a hydration reaction, where water is added to a compound. In this case, the water molecules react with the aluminum oxide to form aluminum hydroxide.
