Detailed Solution

"Aluminum chloride in acidified aqueous solution forms octahedral AlH2O63+ ion" is correct In Because in aqueous solution, aluminum chloride forms a complex with aluminum as a metal atom and water as a ligand. Six ligands are present. As a result, it is an octahedral complex, and the hybridization involved is [sp3d2], indicating that it is an outer orbital complex.

Both are valid, and Statement 2 explains Assertion correctly. AlH2O63+.

So, Aluminum is in the +3 oxidation state in 

AlH2O63+
