The dissolution of $Al(OH)_3$ by a solution of $NaOH$ results in the formation of

A

$[Al(H_2O)_4(OH)_2]^+$

B

$[Al(H_2O)_3(0H)_3]$

C

$[Al(H_2O)_2(OH)_4]^-$

D

$[Al(H_2O)_6(OH)_3]$

Solution

$Al(OH)_3$ dissolves in $NaOH$ solution to give $Al(OH)_4^-$ ion which is supposed to have the octahedral complex species $[Al(OH)_4(H_2O)_2]^-$ in aqueous solution.

$Al{\left( {OH} \right)_3} + NaOH\left( {aq} \right) \to {\left[ {Al{{\left( {OH} \right)}_4}{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_2}} \right]^ – }\left( {aq} \right) + N{a^ + }\left( {aq} \right)$
