Question

Which one is more soluble in diethyl ether, anhydrous $AlCl_{3}$ or hydrated $AlCl_{3}$?

Answer 1

Anhydrous Aluminium chloride ($AlCl_{3}$) is a good lewis acid and it is electron deficient.

Whereas the Hydrated Aluminium chloride ($AlCl_{3}$) is a poor lewis acid since it has the water molecules.

Diethyl ether have the lone pairs. These lone pairs are donated to the Anhydrous Aluminium chloride ($AlCl_{3}$) spontaneously. Because of this Diethyl ether is soluble.

Thus, Diethyl ether is soluble in the Anhydrous Aluminium chloride rather than the hydrated Aluminium chloride.
