Detailed Solution

If AlCl3 is present in ionic state in aqueous solution, therefore it has Al3+ and 3Cl- ions Standard heat of hydration of A13+ and 3Cl- ions = - 4665 + 3× (-381) kJ mol-1= -5808 kJ/molRequired energy of ionization of Al = 5 137 kJ mol-1 ..'. Hydration energy overcomes ionization energy .'. AlCl3 would be ionic in aqueous solution
