On adding AlCl3 to water

Question

On adding AlCl3 to water (A) the ionization of water increases (B) the ionization of water decreases (C) the ionization of water remains constant (D) the ionic product of water increases

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

AlCl3 gives Al3+ ions which combines with OH- ions given by H2O so that dissociation equilibrium of H2O shifts forward.

Q. On adding $A lC l_{3}$ to water

the ionization of water increases

the ionization of water decreases

the ionization of water remains constant

the ionic product of water increases

$A lC l_{3}$ gives $A l^{3 +}$ ions which combines with $O H^{-}$ ions given by $H_{2} O$ so that dissociation equilibrium of $H_{2} O$ shifts forward.
