Net Ionic Equation for the Reaction of Al(OH)3 and HCl

[DRC12]

What is the net ionic equation of Al(OH)3(s)+3HCl(aq)=AlCl3(aq)+3H20

The answer a got was
Cl is the only spectator ion
Al3+ +3OH3- +3H3+ = Al3+ +3H2O

 

[Borek]

Al3+ +3OH3-

You were told Al(OH)₃(s)

 

[DRC12]

I was given Al(OH)₃(s)+HCl(aq)
then solved and balanced the equation as Al(OH)₃(s)+3HCl(aq)=AlCl₃(aq)+3H₂O(l)
and I know that's correct I just can't figure out the net ionic equation and I'm not entirely sure what the spectator ions are but I'm pretty positive the only ones Cl

 

[Borek]

You are right about spectators, but you are wrong about Al(OH)₃ being dissociated. It is given as Al(OH)₃(s) for a reason.

 

[DRC12]

So now i have it as Al(OH)₃(s)+3H³⁺(aq)=3H₂O(l)+Al^3-(aq)

thats still not right but is that what you meant by being given Al(OH)₃(s)?

Equation is so off my eyes hurt from looking, but you are on the right track now. Just half of the substances you listed don't exist.
