Chlorides of Aluminium and Silicon

Question

When the chlorides of Aluminium and silicon are dissolved in water, the resulting solution has a Ph of 3.0. Explain

Answer

The chlorides of aluminium and silicon hydrolyse in water to produce hydrated hydrogen ions which are responsible for the low pH.
