AlCl3(6H20) + NaCl?
« on: December 07, 2012, 03:05:45 AM »
I am interested in making a solution that retains the properties of both an NaCl solution and an aluminum chloride hexahydrate solution. Unfortunately, I am under the impression that these to compounds react with each other in solution. Is this impression true? If so, would there be any ratio that I could combine them in order to maintain the properties of the individual solutions?

Aluminium is able to built up Chlorocomplex. [AlCl4]- or  [AlCl6]3-

However, there is no such thing as an aluminum chloride hexahydrate solution, at least not a water solution.  The reaction of the solid, either anhydrous or the hydrate, is vigorous and evolves HCl gas.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

I think he was talking about [Al(H2O)6]3+ By adding of more Chloride the water can be substituted by Cl.
