When `Al_(2)Cl_(6)` is dissolved in water then

A

the dimeric structure remains as such

B

it undergoes polymerisation

C

the dimeric structure disappears

D

it can't be dissolved since lattice energy exceeds the hydration energy.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The dimeric structure disappears and dissociates due to high heat of hydration.
