The solubility of anhydrous AlCl₃ and hydrous AlCl₃ in diethyl ether can be compared based on their chemical properties. Anhydrous AlCl₃ is a non-polar compound, while hydrous AlCl₃ contains water molecules, making it more polar. Since diethyl ether is a non-polar solvent, it tends to dissolve non-polar substances better than polar ones.

Comparison of Solubility

Given this information, we can analyze the solubility:

  • Anhydrous AlCl₃ (S₁): More soluble in diethyl ether due to its non-polar nature.
  • Hydrous AlCl₃ (S₂): Less soluble because of its polar characteristics.

Conclusion on Solubility

Therefore, we can conclude that:

S₁ > S₂
