Solution

The correct option is D The solution will consists of AI3+ and CI
AlCl3(anhydrous)AlCl3(aq)

ΔH of reaction= Energy rleased during hydration + Energy used during ionization
4665(3×381)+5137=671

Thus AlCl3 would become ionic in aqueous solution as the formation of ions will take place because ΔHhydration>ΔHionization
