Hello, I have seen that adding dish soap to water and then dissolving Alka-Seltzer in the solution causes the reaction rate to slow. Does anybody have any idea as to why this happens?

Hey guys, I have a question regarding the process by which a reaction returns to equilibrium. If a reaction's reaction quotient is greater than its equilibrium constant, it will shift towards the reactants side of the equation to return to equilibrium. How exactly does this happen? Does...

So because Al is higher on the reactivity series than Co, the Al reaction will take place? Wait, but Na is higher than both of them. So they wouldn't be able to replace it anyway?

Okay, according to wikipedia, Al(OH)3 will form Al(OH)4-. So would the other product be Na+? Also, how do we know this reaction takes place and the one with Co(OH)2 doesn't?

So is the reaction a neutralization reaction?

So one of the metal hydroxides can act as a base and an acid?

Homework Statement One of the two pairs of reactants will undergo a reaction. Which one, and what are the products? Co(OH)2 (s) + NaOH (aq) ----> Al(OH)3 (s) + NaOH (aq) -----> Homework Equations N/a The Attempt at a Solution I thought it might have something to do with the reactivity...
