Chapter 16, Problem 16.125(choose chapter or problem)
In many reactions the addition of AlC13 produces the same effect as the addition of H+. (a) Draw a Lewis structure for AJC13 in which no atoms carry formal charges, and determine its structure using the VSEPR method. (b) What characteristic is notable about the structure in part (a) that helps us understand the acidic character of AlC13? (c) Predict the result of the reaction between AIC13 and NH3 in a solvent that does not participate as a reactant. (d) Which acid-base theory is most suitable for discussing the sintilarities between A1Cl3 and H+?
