Anhydrous `AlCl_(3)` is obtained when :

Assertion: Anhydrous AlCl_(3) is covalent while hydrated AlCl_(3) is ionic. Reason: In water AlCl_(3) is presennt as Al_((aq.))^(3+) and Cl_((aq.))^(-) ion.

Anhydrous AlCl_(3) cannot be obtained by heating AlCl_(3).6H_(2)O- why?

Anhydrous AlCl_(3) is covalent however, when it is dissolved in water hydrated ionic species are formed. This transformation is owing to:

Can we use anhydrous AlCl_(3) as a catalyst in the alkylation of phenol ?

Al_(2)O_(3) can be converted to anhydrous AlCl_(3) by heating :
