Step-by-step explanation:

The molecular formulas for the reactants and products are:

Aluminum acetate - Al(CH3COO)3

Potassium hydroxide - KOH

Aluminum hydroxide - Al(OH)3

Potassium acetate - KCH3COO

Therefore the unbalanced reaction equation can be written as:

Al(CH3COO)3+KOH→Al(OH)3+KCH3COO
