What is the effect of AlCl3 (Aluminum Chloride) on litmus ?Is it basic, acidic, neutral ?
jersey knit sheets [frakin awesome and soft] and fleece blankies!!!
I like cotton sheets and micro mic blanketsBut I have an old holey blanket that I sleep with every night.I love it.
The solution of Al Cl3 will test as acidic because of the following The chloride ion comes from a strong acid that is completely dissociated, H ClThe aluminum ion has a hydroxide that is only partly dissociatedIt is a weak baseThe equation for the reaction of the aluminum ion with water is Al + 3 H2 O Al (OH)3 + 3H+ what happens is the aluminum ion removes the hydroxide ion from water and leaves behind the hydrogen ionIt is the hydrogen ion in excess that causes the solution to be acidic.
