(iv) anhydrous aluminium chloride from alumina

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (i) $\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH}){2}+\mathrm{Cl}{2} \xrightarrow{40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \mathrm{CaOCl}{2}+\mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O}$

(ii) $3 \mathrm{Cu}+8 \mathrm{HNO}{3}$ (dil) $\longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}{3}\right){2}+4 \mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{NO}$

(iii) $2 \mathrm{NaCl}+2 \mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{SO}{4}+\mathrm{MnO}{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}{2} \mathrm{SO}{4}+\mathrm{MnSO}{4}$ $+2 \mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{Cl}{2}$

(iv) $\mathrm{Al}{2} \mathrm{O}{3}+3 \mathrm{C}+3 \mathrm{Cl}{2} \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2 \mathrm{AlCl}{3}+3 \mathrm{CO}$
