Q.

An inorganic compound 'A' shows the following reactions
i) It is white solid, exists as dimer and fumes in wet air
ii) It sublimes at 180°C and forms monomer if heated to 400°C
iii)Its aqueous solution turns blue litmus to red and gives a white precipitate with AgNO3 solution which is soluble in NH4OH
iv) Addition of NH4OH and NaOH separately to the solution of 'A' gives a gelatinous precipitate which in however soluble in excess of NaOH. 
The compound 'A' is

Compound B is Al2​Cl6​.

(i) Al2​Cl6​ is a white solid, exists as dimer and fumes in wet air.

(ii) It sublimes at 180°C and converts into AlCl3​ at 400°C.

(iii) Its aqueous solution is acidic, so it turns blue litmus to red.

Al2Cl6+6H2O2AlOH3weak base+6HClstrong acid

It gives white ppt. with AgNO3​ which is soluble in NH4​OH.

(iv) AlCl3+3NaOH2AlOH3white ppt.+3NaCl

But in case of NH4​OH, the ppt. of Al(OH)3​ does not dissolve in excess of NH4​OH.
