What is made when aluminium carbonate reacts with nitric acid?
And what is the chemical formula?
I think so far i have Al2(CO3)3+HNO3 -->?
This formula is not balanced, and i don't know if it's right so far.

I think the previous poster, Smile, was on the right track but instead of "3H2CO3" I would expect the product to be "3H2O + 3CO2"

Aluminum Carbonate Formula

This is a common acid-base neutralization reaction. In other words, a double displacement reaction.
Since a strong acid is reacting with a weak base (all carbonates are weak), three products will be formed: a salt (AlN), water, (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2). You just need to know how to balance it.
The balanced equation would be:
Al2(CO3)3(aq) + 2HNO3(aq) --> 2AlN(aq) + H2O(l) + 3CO2(g)

the word equation is
aluminium carbonate + nitric acid ==== aluminium nitrate + carbonic acid
the chemical equation is
Al2 (CO3)3 + 6HNO3 ==== 2Al (NO3)3 + 3H2CO3

Al(OH)3 + 3HNO3 --> Al(NO3)3 + 3H2O So aluminium nitrate will be produced. Always remember that: Acid + Base (or alkali) --> Salt + Water

i think it should be
Al2(CO3)3+6 HNO3=2 Al(NO3)3+3 H2CO3
resulting in aluminium nitrate and bicarbonic acid
