This question has to do with an alum synthesis experiment from aluminum, KOH, and H2SO4. The overall reaction is given in equation (1-1):

(1-1) 2Al(s) + 2KOH(aq) + 22H2O(l) + 4H2SO4(aq) ---> 2KAl(SO4)2.12H2O(s) + 3H2(g)

Note: we used 0.045 moles of H2SO4 and 0.0175 moles of KOH in the experiment.

Question 1: Given that KAl(OH)4 was limiting, how many moles of H2SO4 were actually used to form the maximum possible amount of KAl(SO4)2 (Hint: Moles of Al used in this case = 0.0061)?

The correct answer provided by my instructor is 0.012 but I don't understand how to reach that answer. Especially since KAl(OH)4 is not in the overall equation for the reaction we did, so I would appreciate that whoever helps solve this question writes the chemical equation they'll use.
