Answer:

The answer to your question is the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Reaction

Al₂(SO₄)₃ + KOH ⇒ Al(OH)₃ + K₂SO₄

Process

1.- Check if the reaction is already balanced

Reactants Elements Products

2 Aluminum 1

3 Sulfur 1

13 Oxygen 7

1 Potassium 2

1 Hydrogen 3

The reaction is unbalanced

2.- Balance the reaction

1Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6KOH ⇒ 2Al(OH)₃ + 3K₂SO₄

Reactants Elements Products

2 Aluminum 2

3 Sulfur 3

18 Oxygen 18

6 Potassium 6

6 Hydrogen 6

Now the reaction is balanced. The coefficients are 1, 6, 2, 3.
