The structure of aluminium bromide is best represented as :
A certain salt $X$, gives the following results.
$(i)$ Its aqueous solution is alkaline to litmus.
$(ii)$ It swells up to a glassy material $Y$ on strong heating.
$(iii)$ When conc. $H_2SO_4$ is added to a hot solution of $X$, white crystal of an acid $Z$ separates out.
Write equations for all the above reactions and identify $X, Y$ and $ Z$.
