For the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, what mass m of AlCl3 forms from 8 g of Al? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, what mass m of H2O forms from 5 g of H2? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(H2) = 2.016 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
30 g of Mg and 10 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
4.Medium
16 g of Na and 16 g of Cl2 react according to 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl. What mass m of NaCl can form?
M(Na) = 22.99M(Cl2) = 70.9M(NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, 30 g of Na reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 41.94 g of NaCl is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/molactual: 41.94 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, 6 g of C3H8 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 13.47 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(C3H8) = 44.1 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 13.47 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 39.53 g
- 2. m = 44.69 g
- 3. m = 25.19 g
- 4. m = 26.38 g
- 5. Y = 55 %
- 6. Y = 74.99 %
