                    \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] can be converted to anhydrous \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\] by heating:                                                                           

    A)                 \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] with HCl gas                                         

    B)                 \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] with NaCl in solid state

    C)                  a mixture of \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] and carbon in dry \[C{{l}_{2}}\] gas

    D)                  \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] with \[C{{l}_{2}}\] gas

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] may be converted to anyhydrous \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\] by heating of mixture of \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] and carbon in dry chlorine \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+3C+\underset{Hot\,and\,dry}{\mathop{3C{{l}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{(Anhydrous\,AlC{{l}_{3}})}{\mathop{A{{l}_{2}}C{{l}_{6}}}}\,\]                 Note:    Anhydrous \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\] exists in form of dimer as \[A{{l}_{2}}C{{l}_{6}}\]
