I am working on a problem trying to determine the Net Ionic Equation after predicting precipitate. I understand the process to do this, but I am struggling with the initial Balancing of the equation. I'm going in circles on this. Can somebody help? The actual problem is, "Predict the Precipitate produced by mixing an AL(NO₃)₃ solution with a NaOH solution. Write the Net Ionic Equation for the reaction" but like I said, I am just stuck on the first part in balancing the molecular equation.
I wrote the molecular equation as follows:
Al(NO₃)₃ (aq) + NaOH (aq) --> Na₃(NO₃)(s) + Al(OH)₃ (aq)

Now how to balance the equation from here?

I don't think Na₃NO₃ exists. Count the number of N and O atoms and see if you can place the "3" somewhere else!

Wow I totally messed up and for some reason confused the charge of NO₃ as ³⁺  which doesn't even make sense if it's an anion lol ok thanks!!!
