Can H2O2 dissolve Al2o3 in HNO3 in ph 3?
Accepted Answer
The solubility of Al2O3 (aluminum oxide) in HNO3 (nitric acid) is complex and influenced by several factors. While HNO3 can react with Al2O3, the pH of the solution plays a significant role. At pH 3, the solution is acidic, favoring the dissolution of Al2O3. However, the presence of H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) can further influence the reaction. H2O2 is a strong oxidizing agent and can react with Al2O3 to form aluminum hydroxides, which are less soluble than Al2O3. Therefore, the overall solubility of Al2O3 in this system would depend on the concentration of HNO3, H2O2, and the reaction conditions.
