Best Answer

Aqueous solutions

of the soluble beryllium salts are acidic as a result of the

formation of Be(OH2)42+, the tetrahydrate, which will

react to form insoluble hydroxides or hydrated

complexes at pH values between 5 and 8

Why is Beryllium dichloride acid when dissolved in water?

When dissolved in water, beryllium chloride dissolves in water it breaks apart into beryllium and chloride ions. The positive beryllium ion attracts and forms a sort of bond with the slightly positive oxygen atom of a water molecule, forming what is called an ionic complex. A hydrogen ion can then break off of this positively charged complex, resulting in a slightly acidic solution.
