Solution

The correct option is C All of the above
All of the above statements are true about hydrated magnesium chloride $M g C l_{2} \cdot 6 H_{2} O$ .
(A) 100 grams of water dissolves about 140 grams of $M g C l_{2} \cdot 6 H_{2} O$ at room temperature.
(B) 100 grams of water dissolves about 365 grams of $M g C l_{2} \cdot 6 H_{2} O$ at 100 deg C.
Thus with increase in temperature, the solubility increases.
(C) $M g C l_{2} \cdot 6 H_{2} O$ reacts with alcohol to form $M g C l_{2} \cdot 6 C_{2} H_{5} O H$ . Water of crystallization is replaced with solvent (ethanol) molecules.
