Chapter 21, Problem 16.119(choose chapter or problem)
In many reactions the addition of \(AlCl_3\) produces the same effect as the addition of \(H^+\).
(a) Draw a Lewis structure for \(AlCl_3\) 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 \(AlCl_3\)?
(c) Predict the result of the reaction between \(AlCl_3\) and \(NH_3\) in a solvent that does not participate as a reactant.
(d) Which acid-base theory is most suitable for discussing the similarities between \(AlCl_3\) and \(H^+\)?
