A l C l 3 achieves stability by forming a dimer. In trivalent state the compound is hydrolysed in water. A l C l 3 in acidified aqueous solution forms
Options
- AA l O H 3 + H C l
- B[ A l H 2 O 6 3 + + 3 C l -
- CA l C l 3 . 2 H 2 O
- DA l 2 O 3 + H C l
Correct answer
B. [ A l H 2 O 6 3 + + 3 C l -
Step-by-step solution
A l C l 3 in acidified aqueous solution forms A l H 2 O 6 3 + ion. A l C l 3 + 9 H 2 O → A l H 2 O 6 O H 3 + 3 H + + 3 C l -
