Answer:
3 HBr + Al(OH)₃ ⇒ AlBr₃ + 3 H₂O
Explanation:
Let's consider the unbalanced equation for the reaction that takes place when hydrobromic acid reacts with aluminum hydroxide. This is a neutralization reaction, in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water.
HBr + Al(OH)₃ ⇒ AlBr₃ + H₂O
First, we will balance Br atoms by multiplying HBr by 3.
3 HBr + Al(OH)₃ ⇒ AlBr₃ + H₂O
Finally, we get the balanced equation by multiplying H₂O by 3.
3 HBr + Al(OH)₃ ⇒ AlBr₃ + 3 H₂O
