How many moles of aluminum ions are present in 0.50 mole of Al2SO43?

The formula shows that 2 aluminum atoms are present in each formula unit, which is, for ionically bonded compound, the alternative to "molecule" for a covalently bonded compound. The formula unit for aluminum itself is generally considered to consist of single atom. Therefore, 0.5 mole of the compound will contain 1.00 moles of aluminum.

Is Al2SO43 a correct formula?

Sure. Al2(SO4)3 is the formula for aluminum sulfate.It is soluble in water and is mainly used as a flocculating agent in the purification of drinking water[2][3]and waste water treatment plants, and also in paper manufacturing.Al2SO43, is impossible as 43 oxygen atoms cannot possibly bind this wayAl2(SO4)3, is correct as aluminum has a valence of 3 and the sulfate radical has a valence of 2
