well as in solution of non-polar solvents such as benzene.
When dissolved in water, it gives
(a) [Al(OH)₆ ]³⁻ 3HCl
(b) [Al(H₂O)₆ ]³⁺ + 3Cl⁻
(c) Al³⁺ + 3Cl⁻ (d) Al₂O₃ +6HCl

Answer 1

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (b)

(b) [Al(H₂O)₆ ]³⁺ + 3Cl⁻

Answer 2

Aluminium chloride exists as dimer,(Al₂Cl₆) is solid state as well as in solution of non-polar solvents such as benzene.

When dissolved in water ,it gives (b) [Al(H₂O)₆]³⁺+ 3Cl⁻

• When solid Aluminium chloride react with water it forms an acidic solution.
