Verified Answer :

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

       \(AlCl_{3} + Na \rightarrow NaCl + Al\)

To balance this equation, we multiply Na by 3 on reactant side and NaCl by 3 also.

Thus, the balanced equation is as follows.

         \(AlCl_{3} + 3Na \rightarrow 3NaCl + Al\)

The oxidation and reduction reaction will be as follows.

Oxidation:     \(3Na \rightarrow 3Na^{+} + 3e^{-}\)

Reduction:    \(Al^{3+} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Al\)

Thus, we can conclude that oxidation state of sodium changes from 0 to +1.
