Surely there are #0.88*mol# of aluminum metal in this molar quantity of salt....

Explanation:

In ONE mole of aluminum sulfate there are TWO mole of aluminum metal precisely...i.e. there are #54*g# of aluminum metal per #342.15*g# of salt...

Here we specify a molar quantity of #0.44*mol# with respect to aluminum sulfate….i.e. a mass of #150.5*g#...and in this quantity there are TWO EQUIV aluminum….i.e. a mass of #2xx0.44*molxx27.0*g=23.8*g#...
