Question

An inorganic Lewis acid $(X)$ fumes in moist air, and intensity of fumes increases when a rod dipped in $N H_{4} O H$ is brought near to it. An acidic solution of $(X)$ on addition of $N H_{4} C l$ and $N H_{4} O H$ gives a precipitate which dissolves in $N a O H$ solution. An acidic solution of $(X)$ does not give precipitate with $H_{2} S$ . Hence, the compound $(X)$ is :

Solution

The correct option is B $A l C l_{3}$
The compound $(X)$ is $A l C l_{3}$ .
$A l C l_{3} + 3 H_{2} O ⟶ A l {(O H)}_{3} ↓ + 3 H C l$
(moisture) (fumes)
$A l C l_{3} + 3 N H_{4} O H ⟶ A l {(O H)}_{3} ↓ + 3 N H_{4} C l$
$A l {(O H)}_{3} + N a O H ⟶ N a A l O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$ $A l C l_{3} + H_{2} S + H^{+} ⟹ N o p p t .$
