Overview

Aluminium carbonate (Al2(CO3)3), is a carbonate of aluminium. It is not well characterized; one authority says that simple carbonates of aluminium are not known. However related compounds are known, such as the basic sodium aluminium carbonate mineral dawsonite (NaAlCO3(OH)2) and hydrated basic aluminium carbonate minerals scarbroite (Al5(CO3)(OH)13•5(H2O)) and hydroscarbroite (Al14(CO3)3(OH)36•nH2O). It is also known as aluminum hydrogen carbonate. The molecular composition is Al(HC03)3. The things that make up this molecule are 3 Aluminum and 3 bicarbonate icons. One property is the molecular weight which is 210.03 g/mol. Another property is the mass which is 209.959245 g/mol. The heavy atom count is 13 which is also a property of this molecule. The boiling point is 883°C and the density is 13,954 kg/m3 . One more property is that it’s silver and shiny. We use this molecule for many things. One thing we use it for is treating acid indigestion. We use it for heartburn. We use it for when someone has a sour stomach. We can use it to whiten our teeth. One more thing we use it for is to wash out our mouths.

Aluminium carbonate, along with aluminium hydroxide and aluminium oxide, is a phosphate-binding drug that is sometimes administered to dogs and cats to bind intestinal phosphate and prevent the absorption of dietary phosphate as well as to decrease absorption of phosphate excreted by the pancreas. It is seldom used in humans because of concerns with toxicity, but cats and dogs do not appear to have a toxic response to its presence. The reaction of aluminium sulfate and sodium bicarbonate forms carbon dioxide and aluminium hydroxide which stabilises the formation of a foam. This reaction was the basis of an early fire extinguisher invented by Aleksandr Loran in 1904.

Applications

As a medicine, aluminum carbonate is used as an anti-acid for acid reflux, stomach inflammation, and ulcers. It can be ingested in pill or liquid form to control gastrointestinal disorders. Care has to be taken in the use of aluminum carbonate since it can decrease the effects of other medications.

Overuse of aluminum carbonate can lead to constipation and slight discomfort. Some people are allergic to aluminum products and should not take aluminum carbonate. Though there are over the counter varieties, it is best to consult a doctor regarding its use.

A necessary element for the body is phosphorus, which is used with calcium to build strong bones.  If your body has too much or too little, you may contract either hyperphosphatemia or hypophosphatemia. Aluminum carbonate helps control the level of phosphorus or phosphates and prevents the formation of urinary tract stones.

Spesificatioon

How aluminum carbonate is formed

Aluminum carbonate is formed by the fusing of an aluminum base with an alkali carbon metal. Once it forms, it immediately decomposes because of hydrolysis in the aluminum carbonate molecule. The reason for its decomposition is the weak acid and its symbiosis with a poor base that cannot fight atmospheric conditions. The instability of aluminum carbonate make it impossible to store and study. Since it has no commercial value, and storing it would require very specialized conditions, little is done to create a laboratory version.

When aluminum carbonate decomposes, it becomes aluminum oxide and carbon dioxide gas. During the mixing process, the aluminum ion immediately separates from the oxygen atom, which combines with carbon to make carbon oxide. The chemical formula for aluminum carbonate is Al₂(CO₃)₃.

Aluminum Hydrogen Carbonate

Aluminum hydrogen carbonate, also known as aluminum bicarbonate, is closely related to aluminum carbonate. Much like aluminum carbonate, aluminum hydrogen carbonate does not exist except in formula form. The difficulty in producing it is the inability of hydrogen to bond with a metal. Aluminum hydrogen carbonate is a member of a group of inorganic salts.
