For the reaction Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 8 g of Fe2O3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, what mass m of NH3 forms from 32 g of N2? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(N2) = 28.02 g/molM(NH3) = 17.03 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
30 g of Fe2O3 and 20 g of CO react according to Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2. What mass m of Fe can form?
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69M(CO) = 28.01M(Fe) = 55.85 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
6 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
5.Hard
In the reaction C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2, 8 g of C6H12O6 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 3.05 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(C6H12O6) = 180.16 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 3.05 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, 16 g of CH4 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 32.71 g of H2O is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/molactual: 32.71 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 6.614 g
