Does aluminum fluoride react with concentrated hydrochloric acid?
Thread Content
Hello everyone, does aluminum fluoride (AlF3) react with concentrated hydrochloric acid? Baidu says it doesn’t respond, but some people say it does – does it really respond?
Logically speaking, a reaction should occur; in reality, a reaction does take place
Thank you for your reply. Have you conducted experiments in this area? Are there any reference materials on this topic?
Aluminum fluoride (AlF3) reacts with concentrated hydrochloric acid to produce aluminum chloride (AlCl3) and hydrofluoric acid (HF). This reaction is reversible; that is, under suitable conditions, aluminum chloride and hydrofluoric acid can react to form aluminum fluoride. Please note that due to the strong acidity and corrosiveness of hydrofluoric acid, this reaction must be carried out under appropriate experimental conditions. .
