Aluminum Chloride (AlCl3) is a chemical compound composed of aluminum and chlorine. It is a white or colorless solid that is highly hygroscopic, meaning it easily absorbs moisture from the air.
Aluminum Chloride (AlCl3) is a pure compound formed by the exothermic reaction of metallic aluminum and hydrogen chloride (HCl) in the temperature range of 650-750 °C.
Properties:
-
Physical Form: Aluminum chloride typically appears as crystals or powder and can form a clear, colorless solution in water.
-
Hygroscopic: It absorbs water from the air, which can lead to clumping.
-
Solubility: It is highly soluble in water, and the solution may be acidic.
Applications:
-
Chemical Industry: Aluminum chloride is used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, including Friedel-Crafts reactions, which are important in organic synthesis.
-
Water Treatment: It is used in water treatment plants to remove undesirable substances by promoting coagulation.
-
Deodorants: It is an active ingredient in many antiperspirants as it can block sweat glands.
-
Paper Production: Aluminum chloride is used in the paper industry as a coagulant.
Benefits:
-
Effective Catalyst: It helps accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed by itself.
-
