C. WORK PROCEDURES
1. Aluminium Hydroxide Characteristic

beberapa tetes larutan NH3 NH3 solution more than before

2 mL aluminium salt solution observed

NaOH 0,1 M more than before

some drops NaOH 0,1 M solution HCl solution

precipitate formed devide into 2 part

2 mL aluminium salt (1) (2)

some drops dilute NaOH

washed
filter the precipitate
with
water

2. Compare aluminium chloride with magnesium chloride

 AlCl3 anhidrat MgCl2 anhidrat

change with

one by one drop H2O

AlCl3

repeat the treatment by change with MgCl 2

observed and measure the pH

3. Compare the characteristic acid Base of Al 2O3 and MgO

0,1 gram Al2O3 and

MgO in other tube

3 mL aquadest and
then shaked

measure the pH
 0,1 gram Al 2O3

dilute 3 mL HCl and

NaOH

4. Compare about the characteristic of Ion Aluminium base and

Magnesium ion
