You need to balance the equation.
2Al + 3H2SO4 ==> Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2
Now use the coefficients to convert mols Al to mols H2.
mols H2 = mols Al x (3 mols H2/2 mols Al) = ??
Note how the mols Al cancel to leave mols H2. That is how you know if the conversion factor you are using is the right one (instead of using 2 mols Al/3 mols H2.
