When aqueous solutions of ammonium carbonate and aluminum iodide are combined, solid aluminum carbonate and a solution of ammonium iodide are formed. The net ionic equation for this reaction is:
3(NH4)2CO3(aq) + 2AlI3(aq) ----> Al2(CO3)3 + 6NH4I (aq) molecular equation
6NH4+(aq)+ 3CO3-2(aq)+ 2Al+3(aq)+ 6I-(aq) -----> Al2(CO3)3(s)+ 6NH4+(aq)+ 6I-(aq) ionic equation
2Al+3(aq)+ 3CO3-2(aq) -----> Al2(CO3)3(s) Net ionic equation
