Question

which one is more soluble in diethyl ether,anhydrous alcl3N or hydrous alcl3?

Open in App

Solution

Anhydrous AlCl₃ will dissolve the diethyl ether because anhydrous AlCl₃ is a good lewis acid. It is electron deficient. The lone pairs of diethyl ether will be donated to the anhydrous AlCl₃ due to which it is soluble. On the other hand, hydrous AlCl₃ have the water molecules which make it poor lewis acid.
So, diethyl ether will be solube in anhydrous AlCl₃.
