Answer:

4

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry

  • Identifying Moles/Atoms and Compounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Al₂(SO₃)₃ - Aluminum Sulfide

2Al₂(SO₃)₃

Step 2: Identify

In Aluminum Sulfide, we have 2 Al's for every 3 SO₃²⁻'s.

So far, we have 2 Al's in total.

BUT, since we have a 2 coefficient in 2Al₂(SO₃)₃, we need to multiply by 2.

Therefore, we have 4 Al's in total.
