Multiple Choice

The net ionic equation for formation of an aqueous solution of Al(NO₃) ₃ via mixing solid Al(OH) ₃ and aqueous nitric acid is ________.

A) Al(OH) ₃ (s) + 3HNO₃ (aq) → 3H₂O (l) + Al(NO₃) ₃ (aq)
B) Al(OH) ₃ (s) + 3NO₃^- (aq) → 3OH^- (aq) + Al(NO₃) ₃ (aq)
C) Al(OH) ₃ (s) + 3NO₃^- (aq) → 3OH^- (aq) + Al(NO₃) ₃ (s)
D) Al(OH) ₃ (s) + 3H⁺ (aq) → 3H₂O (l) + Al³⁺ (aq)
E) Al(OH) ₃ (s) + 3HNO₃ (aq) → 3H₂O (l) + Al³⁺ (aq) + NO₃^- (aq)
