Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, what mass m of AlCl3 forms from 40 g of Al? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
4 g of Fe2O3 and 64 g of CO react according to Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2. What mass m of CO2 can form?
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69M(CO) = 28.01M(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
6 g of Mg and 32 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
5.Hard
In the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, 6 g of Na reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 13.42 g of NaCl is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/molactual: 13.42 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, 10 g of C3H8 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 8.99 g of H2O is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(C3H8) = 44.1 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/molactual: 8.99 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 19.89 g
- 2. m = 197.7 g
- 3. m = 3.307 g
- 4. m = 9.947 g
- 5. Y = 87.99 %
- 6. Y = 55 %
