For the reaction C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, what mass m of H2O forms from 20 g of C3H8? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(C3H8) = 44.1 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 8 g of Mg? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
30 g of N2 and 80 g of H2 react according to N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3. What mass m of NH3 can form?
M(N2) = 28.02M(H2) = 2.016M(NH3) = 17.03 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
4 g of Al and 40 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
5.Hard
In the reaction C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2, 8 g of C6H12O6 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 3.85 g of C2H5OH is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(C6H12O6) = 180.16 g/molM(C2H5OH) = 46.07 g/molactual: 3.85 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, 10 g of CH4 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 22.5 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 22.5 g
Y = %
