Answer:

Yes, Al change oxidation number

Explanation:

$AlCl_3 +Na >NaCl+Al$

For a free element, oxidation number is 0.

Na and Al are free elements we find in the equation as they are not in combination with other elements.

For a compound, the sum of oxidation number of elements = 0.

We know oxidation number of chlorine is -1.

So let us find the oxidation number of Al in $AlCl_3$

Let x be the oxidation number of Al so,

$AlCl_3=x+(3\times-1)=0\\\\x-3=0\\\\ x= +3$

Oxidation number of Al in $AlCl_3$ is +3

Oxidation number of Al changes from +3 to 0.

Decrease in oxidation number indicates $AlCl_3$ is getting reduced in the reaction.

Na oxidation number increases from 0 to +1 shows Na is getting oxidised in the reaction

The change in oxidation number of the elements represents a redox reaction where both oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously.

In a titration of 0.5 M HCl and an unknown concentration NaOH, 25.0 ml of NaOH was required to completely neutralize 25.0 ml of

baherus [9]

When an acid is neutralized by a base, that means moles of H+ = moles of OH-

moles of H+ = 0.5 M * 0.025 L HCl = 0.0125 moles H+

moles of OH- should be equal to 0.0125 moles, so
0.0125 moles = (x) * 0.025 L NaOH

x is the concentration of NaOH, which we want to find.

x = 0.5 M

The correct answer is C) 0.5 M.
