the main compound of aluminum and chlorine. It is white, but samples are often contaminated with iron trichloride, giving it a yellow colour. The solid has a low melting and boiling point. It is mainly produced and consumed in the production of aluminum metal, but large amounts are also used in other areas of chemical industry. The compound is often cited as a Lewis acid. It is an example of an inorganic compound that "cracks" at mild temperature, reversibly changing from a polymer to a molecule.

What happens if calcium hydroxide is added to carbonated water?
the calcium hydroxide will disolve while a bubbles appear
What happens to a piece of porcelain when heated on a Bunsen burner?
Nothing! but if you keep it in for a while, the flame turns orange
Why Boron hydroxide is acidic whereas Aluminium hydroxide is amphoteric and Thallium hydroxide is basic?
Boron is the only element in group III of the periodic table which is non-metallic. Metal hydroxides must form a stable cation and anion i.e. OH-. Boron does not form a stable cation. This is the reason why metals form basic hydroxides while boron forms a weak acid called boric acid.
What happens when calyx powder is heated?
It turns into a silvery liquid and remains at room temperature while giving off colourless gas
What happens in the reaction between phenol and sodium hydroxide?
Phenol is an acid while sodium hydroxide a base so it is acid base reaction forming the salt sodium phenoxide and water. C6H5-OH + NaOH = C6H5-ONa + H2O
Why aluminum compounds are acidic?
It's not true. Many compounds of Aluminium like Aluminium Hydroxide are highly basic while others like Aluminum Hydride are acidic.

What will happen to the structure of aluminium foil while x-rays pass through it?
aluminium structure will not change, x rays is spiltted into alpha beta gamma rays while it comes out of aluminium

How is aluminium extracted?
Aluminum is extracted from bauxite, the ore in which aluminum oxide is found, through a refining process known as the Bayer process. The bauxite is mixed sodium hydroxide and heated, which separates the aluminum oxide because it dissolves in the sodium hydroxide while the rest of the bauxite does not.
Who has more hydrogen atoms hydroxide or acetate?
Hydroxide is OH. Acetate is C2H3O2. So Acetate has three while Hydroxide has one.
What happens if Aluminum hydroxide and nitric acid react?
Aluminum hydroxide is a base, while nitric acid is a acid (obviously). Therefore, they would cause a neutralization reaction, which form water and a salt. The equation would look like this:Al(OH)3 + 3HNO3 -> 3H2O + Al(NO3)3
What expands quicker aluminium or aluminium bronze?
Yes...brass expands more than iron because brass is a mixture of metal which would expand more when heated..while iron is one metal which is harder to be able to expand. :)
Does olivine form to anything when heated?
can heat form while heated
