Explain each of the following statements: (a) An aqueous solution of $\mathrm{AlCl}_{3}$ is acidic. (b) $\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}$ is soluble in $\mathrm{NaOH}$ solution but not in $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ solution.
Explain why an aqueous solution of NaCl is neutral, whereas an aqueous solution of AlCl3 is acidic (pKa = 5.0). Use equations showing the expected behavior of the aquated ions that explain the observed differences. [4 pts]
