Assertion : `AlCl_3` forms dimer `Al_2Cl_6` but dissolves in water to form `[Al(H_2O)_6]^(3+)` and `Cl^(ѳ)` ions. Reason : Aqueous solution of `AlCl_3` is acidic due to hydrolysis.
A
If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B
If both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C
If( A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.
D
If both (A) and (R) are incorrect.
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
The correct Answer is:
B
`AlCl_3` dissolves in water to form `[Al[H_2O)_6]^(3+)` and `Cl^(ѳ)` ions due to high heat of formation.
