a) Aluminum reacts with KOH and water forming potassium ions, [Al(OH04]- and hydrogen gas.

b) hydrogen ions from the acid react with the tetrahydroxoaluminate ions to precipitate aluminium hydroxide.

c) Aluminium hydroxide reacts with addition hydrogen ions and water to form [Al(H2O)6]3+.

d) Alum forms from the potassium ions, hydrated aluminium ions, sulfate ions and water.

Thank you.

For redox reactions, please always start from half reaction. If you may not be able to write out yourself, please check the sources such as EMF.
(a) Al + 4OH- ---> [Al(OH)4]- + 3e...(1)
2H2O + 2e ---> 2OH- + H2........(2)
2(1)+3(2):
2Al + 2OH- + 6H2O ---> 2[Al(OH)4]- + 3H2

(b) H+ + [Al(OH)4]- ---> H2O + Al(OH)3

(c) Al(OH)3 + 3H2O + 3H+ ---> [Al(H2O)6]3+

(d) [Al(H2O)6]3+ + K+ + 2[SO4]2- ---> KAl(SO4)2 + 6H2O

final answer for a) should be 2Al + 2KOH- + 6H2O --->2K+ 2[Al(OH)4]- + 3H2
*if you used potassium hydroxide in the lab*
