Note 378 — Chapter X · ALUMINIUM; AMPHOTERIC HYDROXIDES; HYDROLYSIS OF SALTS. THE ALUMINIUM AND ZINC GROUPS
Reading edition
Only the primary ionization (of aluminium hydroxide) is considered in the text, because only that is involved, as a rule, in the neutralization of very weak bases by very weak acids (see footnote 2, p. 194). The relations are also simpler and clearer, if we limit the discussion to the formation of a salt AlO(AlO2).
