Answer» Answer: B) Aluminum chloride, solution appears as a straw-colored liquid. Denser than water. Contact MAY cause severe irritation to skin, EYES, and mucous membranes. May be TOXIC by ingestion. Aluminum chloride, anhydrous appears as a white to gray powder with a PUNGENT odor. Corrosive to tissue and toxic by ingestion. Aluminum chloride is a chemical compound with the chemical formula AlCl3. When contaminated with iron chloride, it often displays a yellow color compared to the white pure compound. It is used in various chemical applications as a Lewis base, with anhydrous aluminium trichloride being the most commonly used Lewis acid. It may also be found in over-the-counter as an antiperspirant or prescription products as an ANTIHEMORRHAGIC agent. In antiperspirant products, FDA approves the use of aluminum chloride as an active ingredient up to 15%, calculated on the hexahydrate form, in an aqueous solution nonaerosol dosage form. |
