AlF3 is soluble in HF only in presence of KF. It is due to the formation of
- AK3[AlF3H3]
- BK3[AlF6]
- CAlH3
- DK[AlF3H]
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
AlF3 is insoluble in anhydrous HF because the
F–
ions are not available in hydrogen bonded HF
but, it becomes soluble in presence of little amount
of KF due to formation of complex, K3[AIF6].
AIF3 + 3KF K3[AIF6].
