ii) It sublimes in $180^{\circ} C$ and form monomer If heated to $400^{\circ} C$

iii) Its aq solution turns blue litmus to red.

iv) Addition of $N H_{4} O H$ and NaOH separately to a solution of (A) gives white ppt

which is however soluble in excess of NaOH. What is 'A'

Solution

The correct option is A
Al₂Cl₆

'A' is the white solid existing as dimmer

$\Rightarrow$ A may be $A l C l_{3}$ existing as $A l_{2} C l_{6}$ (White)

i) When $A l_{2} C l_{6}$ is exposed to moist air

$A l_{2} C l_{6} + 6 H_{2} O \to 2 A I (O H)_{3} + 6 H C l$

(fumes of HCl and colloidal $A l (O H)_{3}$

ii) when (A) is heated to $180^{\circ} C$ it sublimes to give

$A l_{2} C l_{6} 180^{\circ} C - -- \to A l_{2} C l_{6} (g)$ and when heated to $400^{\circ} C$ it gives monomer

$A l_{2} C l_{6} 400^{\circ} C - -- \to 2 A l C l_{3}$

iii) When heated with NH_4OH and NaOH separately give

$A l_{2} C l_{6} + 6 N H_{4} O H \to 2 A l (O H)_{3} ↓ 6 N H_{4} C l$

(whiteppt)

and $A l_{2} C l_{6} + 6 N a O H \to 2 A l (O H)_{3} ↓ 6 N a C l$

(whiteppt)

again $A l (O H)_{3} + N a O H \to N a A l O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$
