Chemistry:Aluminium acetate

From HandWiki

Aluminium acetate or aluminium ethanoate[1] (also "aluminum ~"), sometimes abbreviated AlAc in geochemistry,[2] can refer to a number of different salts of aluminium with acetic acid. In the solid state, three salts exist under this name: basic aluminium monoacetate, (HO)2AlCH3CO2, basic aluminium diacetate, HOAl(CH3CO2)2,[3] and neutral aluminium triacetate, Al(CH3CO2)3.[3] In aqueous solution, aluminium triacetate hydrolyses to form a mixture of the other two,[1] and all solutions of all three can be referred to as "aluminium acetate" as the species formed co-exist and inter-convert in chemical equilibrium.

Aluminium monoacetate

Main page: Chemistry:Aluminium monoacetate

Aluminium monoacetate, also known as dibasic aluminium acetate, forms from Al(OH)3 and dilute aqueous acetic acid. More concentrated acid leads to the di- and triacetate.[4]

Aluminium diacetate

Main page: Chemistry:Aluminium diacetate

Aluminium diacetate, also known as basic aluminium acetate, is prepared from aqueous aluminium acetate solution resulting in a white powder.[5] This basic salt forms from the hydrolysis of the triacetate in water.[1]

Aluminium triacetate

Main page: Chemistry:Aluminium triacetate

Aluminium triacetate is a chemical compound that is prepared by heating aluminium chloride (AlCl3) or Al powder with a mixture of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and acetic anhydride (C4H6O3).[5] It is referred as the normal salt and is only made in the absence of water at a relatively high temperature like 180 °C.[1]
