The reaction of aluminum with oxygen to produce a protective coating for the metal's

Chapter 9, Problem 42

(choose chapter or problem)

The reaction of aluminum with oxygen to produce a protective coating for the metal's surface is described in the discussion of aluminum in Group 13 of the Elements Handbook. Use this equation to answer the following questions: a. What mass of aluminum oxide would theoretically be formed if a 30.0 g piece of aluminum foil reacted with excess oxygen? b. Why would you expect the actual yield from this reaction to be far less than the mass you calculated in item (a)?
