AlCl3 soaks up water well, but salt(NaCl) melts water, and soaks it up at the same time. AlCl3 is a type of acid and is extremely bad for the environment. It's used extensively in industry.Aqueous solutions of AlCl3 are ionic and conduct electricity well. Such solutions are found to be acidic, indicative of partial hydrolysis of the Al3+ ion.
To sum it up:
AlCl3 is BAD for the environment.
Salt is not that bad for the environment.
Salt would be recommended. But it is all opinion.

What solutions will have the highest electrical conductivity 0.1m nacl 0.1m bacl2 0.1m alcl3?
alcl3
Why can't CaCl2 and AlCl3 form crystals with the same structure as NaCl?
the ion ratios are different,
What is the balanced equation of aluminum chloride and sodium phosphate?
Aluminium forms two oxdiation states with the chloride ion, I and III 3AlCl + Na3PO4 ------------> NaCl + Al3PO4 this is for Aluminum I chloride AlCl3 + Na3PO4 ------------> AlPO4 + 3 NaCL for the Aluminum III chloride
Why do nacl and cacl2 and alcl3 conducted electricy diffrently?
The conc of positive to negative ions will play some part. however, the main thing i'd imagine is the bulkiness of Al and Ca vs Na
What would be the molarity of a 5 percent NaCl solution?
molarity of 5% NaCl solution would be 1.25M.
What solutions will have the highest electrical conductivity 0.1m nacl 0.1m bacl2 0.1m alcl3?
alcl3
What are the coefficients for AlCl3 plus naOh gives AlOH 3 plus NaCl?
AlCl3+ 3NaOH = Al(OH)3+ 3NaCl
What solutes is most effective in lowering the vapor pressure of water MgCl2 CCl4 NaCl AlCl3?
AlCl3 is most effective in lowering the vapor pressure.
Why can't CaCl2 and AlCl3 form crystals with the same structure as NaCl?
the ion ratios are different,
Is rock salt or table salt better for the roads?
Actually table salt is better for the roads and it melts the ice faster.---------------Chemically this is without any importance; but for roads is used rock salt (impure NaCl) and nobody dispels table salt (as food additive).Also the price difference is enormous.
What is the balanced equation of aluminum chloride and sodium phosphate?
Aluminium forms two oxdiation states with the chloride ion, I and III 3AlCl + Na3PO4 ------------> NaCl + Al3PO4 this is for Aluminum I chloride AlCl3 + Na3PO4 ------------> AlPO4 + 3 NaCL for the Aluminum III chloride
What reaction occurs when solutions of aluminum chloride and sodium hydroxide are mixed?
AlCl3 + 3 NaOH -> 3 NaCl + Al(OH)3
What solutes lower the freezing point of water the most?
The one that has the most particles or the most ions. For example, AlCl3 (4 ions) lowers freezing point more than CaCl2 (3 ions), which is better than NaCl (2 ions) which is better than glucose (1 particle).
What is a non example of a covalent compound?
Ionic compounds are salts or oxides as NaCl, LiF, MgCl2, MgO, UCl4, ThO2, CsCl, CaCl2, FeCl3, AlCl3.
What are examples of ionic compounds?
Sodium chloride - Na+ Cl-; Potassium iodide - K+ I- ;
What are the coefficients that will balance this skeleton equation?
4,1,2
What solute will lower the freezing point of water the most?
The one that has the most particles or the most ions. For example, AlCl3 (4 ions) lowers freezing point more than CaCl2 (3 ions), which is better than NaCl (2 ions) which is better than glucose (1 particle).
