From a pastpaper question:
When water is added to CuCl2, it dissolves.
So it won't form complex [Cu(H2O)4)^2+?
Because AlCl3 will from complex in water and gives acidic property by:
AlCl3 + 6H2O -> [Al(H2O)6]3+(aq) + 3Cl-(aq)
[Al(H2O)6]3+(aq) -> [Al(H2O)5(OH)]2+(aq) + H+(aq)
So why CuCl2 does not react in the same way?
Thanks!
