For the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, what mass m of CO2 forms from 50 g of CH4? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2, what mass m of Fe forms from 8 g of Fe2O3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69 g/molM(Fe) = 55.85 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
6 g of CH4 and 80 g of O2 react according to CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. What mass m of CO2 can form?
M(CH4) = 16.04M(O2) = 32M(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
20 g of CH4 and 48 g of O2 react according to CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. What mass m of H2O can form?
M(CH4) = 16.04M(O2) = 32M(H2O) = 18.02 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, 12 g of Al reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 53.96 g of AlCl3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/molactual: 53.96 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, 30 g of Al reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 103.8 g of AlCl3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/molactual: 103.8 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 137.2 g
- 2. m = 5.596 g
- 3. m = 16.46 g
- 4. m = 27.03 g
- 5. Y = 90.99 %
- 6. Y = 70 %
