1. Use number one when you’re addressing a group of people. “Are you all, alright?”
Use punctuation to have a pause in between.
2. Use number two when you’re addressing just one person.

- English (US)
Both could be correct, depending on context.
Are you all right? This asks are you all (plural “you”, all of you as a whole) right/correct?
Are you alright? This could be either singular or plural “you”. Alright means ok, uninjured, healthy etc.
