Select the correct statement(s).
AAl(OH)X3 is soluble in excess aqueous ammonia.
BAll Al−Cl bond lengths in AlX2ClX6 are equal.
CAluminium is rendered passive by concentrated HNOX3.
DLithium aluminium hydride can be prepared from LiH and AlClX3 in ether.
Answer: C, D
4LiH+AlClX3LiAlHX4+3LiCl in dry ether, so A is true. Conc. HNOX3 builds a protective oxide film, so B is true. In AlX2ClX6 the bridging Al−Cl bonds are longer than the terminal ones, so C is false. Al(OH)X3 dissolves in strong alkali but not in ammonia, so D is false.
