Chapter 14: Q2P. (page 712)

Aluminum trichloride () dissolves in ether with the evolution of a largeamount of heat. (In fact, this reaction can become rather violent if it gets too warm.)Show the structure of the resulting aluminum chloride etherate complex.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Aluminum trichloride dissolves in ether and a large amount of heat is released in

that process. That means the process is exothermic in nature and the formation of

the complex is favored

the complex is favored

02

Aluminium chloride etherate complex

In the aluminum chloride etherate complex, oxygen shares one of its lone pairs

with aluminum, thus oxygen acts as a lewis base and aluminum acts as a lewis acid.

Oxygen atom having three bond pairs and one lone pair possesses positive formal charge

and aluminum atom with four bonds bears formal negative charge.
