131. Do you expect different products in solution when aluminium (III) chloride and potassium chloride are treated separately with:
(i) normal water (ii) acidifed water and (iii) alkaline water?

Potassium chloride (KCl)	Aluminium (III) chloride (AlCl₃)
1. Normal water. KCl being a salt of strong base and strong acid does not undergo hydrolysis in normal water but simply dissociates to give K⁺ (aq) and Cl^- (aq) ions.	1. Normal water. AlCl₃ being a salt of weak base and strong acid, it undergoes hydrolysis in normal water.
2. Acidified water and alkaline water. Since aqueous solution of KCl is neutral, therefore in acidified water and alkaline water, the ions will remain as such i.e. do not react further.	2. In acidic water. H⁺ ions react with Al(OH)₃ to form Al³⁺ (aq) ions and H₂O. Hence in acidic water, AlCl₃ exists as Al³⁺(aq) and Cl^-(aq) ions.
	3. In alkaline water. reacts to form soluble tetrahydroxaluminate complex or meta-aluminate ion.
