What is the formula for aluminum bicarbonate?

Answer 1

I greatly doubt that aluminium bicarbonate exists. The bicarbonate ion requires a large, non-polarising cation for stability, and aluminium ions are small and highly polarising. There is even dispute whether aluminium carbonate exists.

Answer 2

The formula for aluminum bicarbonate is not a well-defined compound. Bicarbonates typically refer to the combination of carbonates with hydrogen carbonate ions (HCO3-). Aluminum carbonate (Al2(CO3)3) is a common compound that contains aluminum and carbonate ions.

Answer 3

Aluminum plus carbonate makes aluminum carbonate. The formula for aluminum carbonate is Al2 and in parenthesis CO3 and a 3 on the outside of the parenthesis.

Answer 4

Al2(CO3)3 This compound conatins Al3+ and [CO3]2- ions.

Answer 5

Aluminum would become Al^3+ and bicarbonate is HCO3^-, so it will take 3 of the HCO3^- anions for each Al^3+ cation. Thus the formula for aluminum bicarbonate is Al(HCO3)3.

Answer 6

Aluminum carbonate is Al2(CO3)3
