Solution

The correct option is A AlCl3
Al+3NaOHAl(OH)3+3Na+
(white ppt.)

Al(OH)3+NaOHNa+[Al(OH)4] (Compound B)
(soluble complex)

Al(OH)3+3HClAlCl3+3H2O
(dil) (Compound C)

2Al(OH)3Strong−−−−−heating Al2O3+3H2O
(used to extract metals)
Compound D=Al2O3

Compound A=Al(OH)3

Compound B=Na+[Al(OH)4]

Compound C=AlCl3

Compound D=Al2O3
