Question

Why is AlCl3 not a catalyst?

Answer 1

Answer: Mark as brainliest, hey your question is wrong I think because AlCl3 is a catalyst.

Explanation: Anhydrous AlCl3 is used as a catalyst because it acts as a Lewis acid which can accept electron by forming intermediates and also by speeding up the reaction. It also leads in the creation of carbocation which is used in the electrophilic substitution reaction.
