(i) AlCl 3+3 H 2 O arrow AlOH 3+3 HCl uparrow fumes (ii) It exists as dimer in non-polar solvents like benzene and in vapour state below 350° C. (iii) 4 Al 2 O 3+3 S 2 Cl 2+9 Cl 2 arrow 8 AlCl 3+ 6 SO 2 uparrow A , B , C are correct D

Q. Which of the following statement about anhydrous aluminum chloride is correct?

It fumes in moist air.

It exists as dimer both in the vapor state below $35 0^{\circ} C$ and in non-polar solvents

It is prepared by heating $A l_{2} O_{3}$ in a stream of Sulphur chloride ( $S_{2} C l_{2}$ ) vapor and chlorine.

All of these

(i) $A lC l_{3} + 3 H_{2} O \to A lO H_{3} + 3 H Cl ↑$ fumes
(ii) It exists as dimer in non-polar solvents like benzene and in vapour state below $35 0^{\circ} C$ .
(iii) $4 A l_{2} O_{3} + 3 S_{2} C l_{2} + 9 C l_{2} \to 8 A lC l_{3} +$ $6 S O_{2} ↑$
$A, B, C$ are correct $D$
