Answer:

6HNO₃ ₊ Al₂O₃ ⇒ 2Al(NO₃)₃ ₊ 3H₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

HNO₃ ₊ Al₂O₃ ⇒ Al(NO₃)₃ ₊ H₂O

H=1 Al=1

N=1 N=3

0=3 0=9

AL=2 H=2

O=3 0=1

6HNO₃ ₊ Al₂O₃ ⇒ 2Al(NO₃)₃ ₊ 3H₂O

H=6 H=6

N=6 N=6

O=18 O=18

Al=2 Al=2

O=3 O=3

Answer:

Al₂O₃ + 6HNO₃ → 2Al(NO₃)₃ + 3H₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

left side of arrow right side of arrow

Al 2 1

O 3 1

H 1 2

NO₃ 1 3

Al₂O₃ + 6HNO₃ → 2Al(NO₃)₃ + 3H₂O

now there are,

left side of arrow right side of arrow

Al 2 2

O 3 3

H 6 6

NO₃ 6 6

you have to try and multiply different numbers and stop when you have equal molecule on both sides of the arrow.
