Aluminium chloride exists as a dimer, `Al_(2)Cl_(6)` in solid state as well as in solution of non-polar solvents such as benzene. When dissolved in water, it gives :

A

`[Al(OH)_(6)]^(3-)+3HCl`

B

`[Al(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)+3Cl^(-)`

C

`Al^(3+) +3Cl^(-)`

D

`Al_(2)O_(3)+6HCl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`AlCl_(3)+6H_(2)O hArr [Al(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)+3Cl^(-)`
