`AlCl_(3)` forms dimer `Al_(2)Cl_(6)` but dissolves in water forming `[Al(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)` and `Cl^(Ө)` ions.
Aqueous solution of `AlCl_(3)` is acidic due to hydrolysis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Correct reason : `AlCl_(3)` dissolved in water to form `[Al(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)` and `C overset (Ө) l` ions due to high heat of formation.
