It is an inorganic compound with chemical formula BiCl₃.
In crystal and gas state, it adopts a pyramidal structure.
It is synthesised by passing Chlorine over Bismuth.
It dissolved in water to form a white precipitate of Bismuth Oxychloride and HCl. The reaction is reversible in that when BiOCl is dissolved in HCl, a clear solution is formed.

Wrong answer , clear solution forms when BiOCl reacts with HCL, But when BiCl3 reacts with water white ppt formed. as the reaction is reversable

When Bismuth chloride is reacts with excess of water. Then it produces and forms white precipitate .
Chemical Reaction Involved in the process ⇒
_________________________
BiCl₃ +H₂O ⇆ BiOCl +2HCl
_________________________
{ Bismuth chloride + water ⇄ Bismuth oxychloride + Hydrochloric acid. }
Explanation :-
Bismuth chloride is oxidizing agent as well as BiCl₃ is a Lewis acid. Bismuth oxychloride is dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid produce the clear solution of bismuth chloride.
But when Bismuth chloride is reacts with excess of water, Then it will produces a white precipitate.
Then addition of water further forms the bismuth oxychloride as a white precipitate. Reversible changes can be repeated several times.
Hope it Helps. :-)
