For the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, what mass m of CO2 forms from 20 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 N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, what mass m of NH3 forms from 40 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
20 g of Al and 16 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
16 g of N2 and 8 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
5.Hard
In the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, 4 g of Mg reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 6.23 g of MgO is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/molactual: 6.23 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, 30 g of CH4 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 55.27 g of H2O is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/molactual: 55.27 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 54.88 g
- 2. m = 48.62 g
- 3. m = 20.06 g
- 4. m = 19.45 g
- 5. Y = 93.95 %
- 6. Y = 82 %
