Aluminium Chloride Properties

Aluminium chloride is a solid chemical that results from the exothermic interaction of metallic aluminium with chlorine. AlCl3 is the chemical formula. It is principally manufactured and used in the manufacturing of aluminium metal, although it is also utilised extensively in other chemical industry sectors. Aluminium chloride is frequently mentioned as a Lewis acid. It […]

Abnormal Value of Molar Mass

Introduction Molar masses that are calculated either lower or higher than expected values (generally using colligative properties) are referred to as abnormal molar masses. The abnormal molar mass is determined by the total number of moles of particles after dissociation or association of solute molecules in solvent or solution. NaOH molar mass Sodium Hydroxide is

Aluminium Chloride Structure

Aluminium chloride is a chemical compound of aluminium and chlorine. In a chemical formula, it is depicted as AICI3. In the liquid or molten form, it is a poor conductor of electricity. It is present in solid states in lattice layers, unlike ionic halides like sodium chloride. The chlorides of aluminium are deliquescent. They can

Weathering

Weathering is the term used to describe the process of rocks and minerals dissolving or breaking down on the Earth’s surface as a result of the action of the sun and water. Many agents, including ice, water, acids, salts, animals and plants, as well as changes in temperature, contribute to the process of weathering’s initiation.

Water Adsorption

What is Water Adsorption? Water adsorption at surfaces is critical in materials science, chemical engineering, and even catalysis. Water adsorption, also known as surface hydration, occurs when physically or chemically water adsorb on the surfaces of solids. It is critical for regulating the properties of interfaces, chemical reaction pathways, and catalytic performance in a broad

Types of Adsorption

Adsorption, a term coined by a German scientist, Heinrich Kayser, in 1881, is commonly referred to as a surface phenomenon where the particles of gas, liquid, or solid form a layer over the top surface of the substance they are adsorbed at. Very similar to absorption, both these scientific concepts have a very prominent difference.

The Plot of the Angle of Deviation vs Angle of Incidence for a Triangular Prism

A prism is a transparent, smooth flat optical object that reflects light. Because objects with both parallel surfaces polished cannot be considered as prisms, one of their surfaces must be tilted in a prism. Prisms are formed from absorbent materials to the wavelengths for which they were created. Glass, plastic, and fluorite are among the

Surface Tension

The attractive force which is exerted upon the surface molecules of a liquid by the molecules beneath the surface tends to draw the surface molecules into the bulk of the liquid and making the liquid assume the shape having the least surface area is called surface tension. Surface tension of water helps creatures mostly of

Surface Chemistry

Surface Chemistry is a branch of chemistry that tells us the characteristics of surfaces or phase boundaries and the chemical changes occurring at a surface or interface. Surface chemistry tells about the phenomena that occur at the surfaces or interfaces. The surface is characterised by separating the bulk phases by a slash. For example, the

Structure, Properties and Uses of Aluminium Chloride

Introduction Aluminium chloride is used to make aluminium metal in industry,  also  it has a lot of functions in the chemical industry, especially  as  Lewis acid. Covalently bound solid aluminium chloride (AlCl3) has a low melting and boiling temperature. Hans Christian Oersted, a Danish scientist and chemist, discovered aluminium chloride in 1825.  Structure of  AlCl3
