What are the hydrolysis products of urea ?

Urea is an organic diamide and is subjected  to hydrolysis by water, the solvent in urine. Water is the nucleophile in the substition and the result it can be visualized as carbonic acid and ammonia .The carbonic acid is unstable and decomposes to carbon dioxide.

Although anhydrous aluminium chloride is covalent but its aqueous solution is ionic in nature. Why?

Aluminium forms covalent compound with chloride because lonisation enthalpy (∆iH= +5137 kJ/mole) of Aluminium is very high due to small size and chlorine is unable to convert  Al into Al⁺³ ions. 

However, when anhydrous AlCl₃ (which is covalent in character) is dissolved in water, it undergoes hydration as follow:  

 Al₂CI₆ + H₂O --> 2[Al(H₂O)₆]⁺³ + (∆H)  

Hydration of anhydrous aIuminium chloride is highly exothermic in nature. The hydration enthalpy is more than ionisation enthalpy of aluminium.This hydration enthalpy removes all the three valence electrons of the aluminium leading to the formation of Al³⁺ more easly.This AI³⁺ is hydrated with water and form a complex ion. Thus in water Al exist as [Al(H₂O)₆]⁺³ . The three electrons of aluminum is accepted by CI of AlCl₃. Thus hydrated AlCl₃  represented [Al(H₂O)₆]Cl₃   and it is ionic in nature.

Arrange in increasing order of extent of hydrolysis [ CCI4, MgCI2, AICI3, PCl5, SiCI4].

We know that CCI₄ does not undergo hydrolysis since "C" does not have d orbital. The central atom of all other element contains empty d-orbitals and hence undergoes hydrolysis. As the oxidation state of the central atom increases from +2 (MgCI₂) to +3 (AICI₃) to +4 (SiCI₄) to +5 (PCl₅), the extent of hydrolysis increases accordingly. Thus, the overall increasing order of extent of hydrolysis follows the order: 

 ["CCI₄ < MgCI₂ < AICl₃ < SiCl₄ < PCl₅"]

Although Sulphur contain vacant d-orbital but SF6 does not under go hydrolysis. Why ?

In SF₆ Sulphur atom contain vacant d-orbital but SF₆ does not undergo hydrolysis because Sulphur is sterically protected (Crowding) by six fluorine atoms and water molecules are unable to co-ordinate with vacant d-orbital of sulphur atom. Down the group in Suphur family extent of Hydrolysis increases due to increasing of size of central atoms crowding decrease. The order is as 

   [" SF₆ < SeF₆ < TeF₆ "]

(9) What is oil of vitriol ?

CCl4 can not be hydrolysed but SiCl4 can be. Why?

Carbon tetrachloride (SiCl4) easily hydrolysed due to availability of vacant d – orbitals in valence shell of their central atom ( Silicon), hence it can easily extend their coordination number beyond four but this is not possible in case of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) due to absence of vacant d – orbitals in carbon atom.
