How many spectator ions are found in the chemical reaction between aluminum oxide and sulfuric acid?

Answer:

$$\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{Al_2O_3} + 3 \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{I^+C}} \mathrm{Al_2(SO_4)_3} + 3 \mathrm{H_2O} \\ \mathrm{Al_2O_3} + 6 \mathrm{H^+} + 3 \mathrm{SO_4} \quad / \quad \xrightarrow{\mathrm{I^+C}} 2 \mathrm{Al^{+++}} + 6 \mathrm{SO_4} \quad / \quad + 3 \mathrm{H_2O} \\ \end{array}$$

A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation.

Therefore, in this reaction there is 1 spectator ion - $\mathrm{SO_4}^{/ / }$.
