How do I balance this equation?
« on: February 12, 2017, 02:57:32 PM »
__Al(s) + 4H₂SO₄(aq) + __KOH(aq) = __KAl(SO₄)₂(s) + __H₂O(l) + 3H₂(g)

EDIT: Here's the answer - 2Al(s) + 4H₂SO₄(aq) + 2KOH(aq) = 2KAl(SO₄)₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) + 3H₂(g)

Potassium alum is a double salt.
You can separately dissolve aluminium in sulfuric acid and neutralize KOH with sulfuric acid, and finally add both reaction with 1:1 ratio.
