Well, I've done this simple lab, and I need to know the equations for the following reactions (if any):

i) Dissolving aluminium nitrate nonahydrate (Al(NO3)3·9H2O) in distilled water

Will it be: Al(NO3)3 + H2O ---> Al(OH)3 + HNO3

ii) add ammonium acetate to the above in i)

iii) dissolving 8-hydroxyquinoline in (1 M) acetic acid (CH3COOH)

iv) slowly adding the products in iii) to those in ii)

Could someone help me out with the chemical equations for the above reactions (writing them down would be superb)?

I know that iv) is an acid-base (acetic acid - ammonium acetate) reaction, and that the pH of the reaction has to be specific (around pH = 7, I think) in order to get the reaction going (...).

I would greatly appreciate any piece of wisdom about the above! Thanks!
