When exposed to air, aluminum metal, Al, reacts with oxygen, O2, to produce a protective coating of aluminum oxide, Al2O3, which prevents the aluminum from rusting underneath. The balanced reaction is shown here: 4Al+3O2→2Al2O3 Part A What is the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide if 3.40 mol of aluminum metal is exposed to 2.85 mol of oxygen? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
