Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Physical Properties]
White or yellowish deliquescent powder; faint odor of HCl; density 2.40 g/cm3; soluble in water and polar organic solvents such as alcohol; aqueous solution acidic.
| [Uses]
The Aluminium chloride hexahydrate is used in the preparation of deodorant and antiperspirant. Also, it is applied in textile finishing to improve the antistatic characteristics and flammability ratings of various textile materials. Commercially, it is sold as crystalline powder or as a 28% solution in water.
| [Preparation]
Aluminum chloride hexahydrate is prepared by dissolving Al(OH)3 in conc. HCl and passing gaseous HCl through the solution at 0°C. The precipitate is washed with diethyl ether and dried. Alternatively, it is prepared by hydrolyzing anhydrous AlCl3 in cold dilute HCl.
| [Reactions]
Decomposes to alumina when heated at 300°C;
2AlCl3 •6H2O →2Al2O3 + 6HCl + 9H2O
Reacts with caustic soda solution forming gelatinous precipitate of aluminum hydroxide (hydrous aluminum oxide); yields aluminum monobasic stearate, Al(OH)2[OOC(CH2)16CH3] when its solution is mixed with a solution of sodium stearate.

white to pale yellow crystalline solid | [Definition]
ChEBI: Aluminium trichloride hexahydrate is a hydrate. It contains an aluminium trichloride. | [Indications]
Aluminum chloride hexahydrate (6.25% Xerac A-C) is an effective antiperspirant
that has also an antibacterial effect. It may be useful in cases of acne
in which sweating is prominent or appears to be aggravating the disease, but
its effects have not been well studied. |
