Answer: 2Al(s) + 3CuSO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3Cu(s)

Explanation: The quantities of aluminum and copper sulfate used as reactants will be such that the copper sulfate will be in excess. Thus, the aluminum will be the limiting factor in determining the number of moles (gram-atoms) of products that will be formed.
