Yeah!
Otherwise AlCl3, anhydrous zinc chloride can be made from aquous ZnCl2, just evaporating the solution and drying the solid in a stove at 200ºC. ZnCl2
powder is very hygroscopic.
Aquous zinc Chloride is made from dissolving zinc into dilute HCl. Be careful with the hydrogen liberation, cause is highly explosive.
Anyway, I don't know where you live, but anhydrous zinc chloride is often dirty cheap and sold by any chemical supplier, even on the internet.
