Aluminum chloride is deliquescent. It absorbs water from the air so easily and abundantly that it dissolves in it. When it does so, it also takes on water of hydration - water chemically bonded to the molecules. It has a very high heat of hydration, and needs to be protected from water.

What is the chemical formula for Aluminum Chlorine?
(inorganic chemistry) AlCl3 or Al2Cl6 A deliquescent compound in the form of white to colorless hexagonal crystals; fumes in air and reacts explosively with water; used as a catalyst
What happens to the weight of sodium chloride when it is exposed to air?
it will dissolve
Why is calcium chloride sprinkled on dusty roads?
Calcium chloride attracts moisture out of the air. The resulting moisture helps keep dust down.
Before clouds can form air must become?
before clouds can form air must become what?
What is the temperature to which air must cool to be saturated?
Dew pointThe dew point is the temperature to which air must cool to be saturated.
Why is aluminium hard to weld when exposed to air?
Aluminum is not only hard to weld when exposed to atmospheric air, it is impossible. All aluminum arc welding processes must be shielded from the air. Gmaw (mig) and gtaw (tig) used sheilding gasses such as pure argon or argon mixed with co2 or helium depending on the application. Smaw (stick) process uses a flux to shield the weld. Aluminum is very reactive making it one of the hardest materials to weld. The cleaner the aluminum is the better it will weld. Aluminum must be free of anything that produces hydrocarbons when heated, such as paint, oil and lubricants. Aluminum must be clean and well shielded from the air to achieve a quality weld.

Is aluminum found in the sea or in the air?
Aluminum is found in lakes as well as the air. Aluminum is element that is in the boron group of chemical elements.
Why does aluminum foil keep stuff hot and cold?
Aluminum foil is air tight. It works by sealing the item from the atmosphere. There is some assistance from the reflective surface, but not much. And it works best if it is not in contact with the item being protected, as it conducts heat very well.
What happens when silver chloride is exposed to air?
Silver chloride is decomposed under the action of UV radiation and air.
What happens when sodium chloride is left expoed to air?
Sodium chloride doesn't react with air; being hygroscopic NaCl absorb water from air.
What will happen if aluminum particles are released into the air?
Aluminum particles can stay airborne for several days when released into air
What are important uses if aluminum?
cans, aluminum foil, jet fuel, air planes.
What happens to Calcium chloride in air?
When exposed to air, calcium chloride can absorb moisture and become hydrated, forming a white, powdery substance. It is hygroscopic, meaning it has a strong affinity for water molecules in the air. This property allows calcium chloride to be used as a desiccant to remove excess moisture from the air.
How can land water and air resources protected?
you answer it
Why is calcium chloride used in dehumidifier?
Calcium chloride is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs water from the air. This is the job of a dehumidifier.
Why does a aluminum can float?
the air inside the can keeps it afloat
