For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 100 g of Mg? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, what mass m of NaCl forms from 40 g of Na? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
30 g of Al and 20 g of Cl2 react according to 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3. What mass m of AlCl3 can form?
M(Al) = 26.98M(Cl2) = 70.9M(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
4 g of Mg and 32 g of O2 react according to 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO. What mass m of MgO can form?
M(Mg) = 24.31M(O2) = 32M(MgO) = 40.3 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, 16 g of Na reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 22.37 g of NaCl is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/molactual: 22.37 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, 12 g of N2 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 11.96 g of NH3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(N2) = 28.02 g/molM(NH3) = 17.03 g/molactual: 11.96 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 165.8 g
- 2. m = 101.7 g
- 3. m = 25.07 g
- 4. m = 6.631 g
- 5. Y = 55 %
- 6. Y = 81.99 %
