        Aluminium chloride exists as dimer,\[A{{l}_{2}}C{{l}_{6}}\]in solid state as well as in solution of non-polar solvents such as benzene. When dissolved in water, it gives

    A)  \[A{{l}^{3+}}+3C{{l}^{-}}\]

    B)  \[{{[Al{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{3+}}+3C{{l}^{-}}\]

    C)  \[{{[Al{{(OH)}_{6}}]}^{3-}}+3HCl\]

    D)  \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+6HCl\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]is covalent but in water, it become ionic due to large hydration energy of\[A{{l}^{3+}}\]. \[AlC{{l}_{3}}+6{{H}_{2}}O{{[Al{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{3+}}+3C{{l}^{-}}\]
