For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 16 g of Mg? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
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 8 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
12 g of C3H8 and 40 g of O2 react according to C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O. What mass m of H2O can form?
M(C3H8) = 44.1M(O2) = 32M(H2O) = 18.02 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
24 g of N2 and 16 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 N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, 6 g of N2 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 6.2 g of NH3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(N2) = 28.02 g/molM(NH3) = 17.03 g/molactual: 6.2 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, 4 g of Na reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 8.64 g of NaCl is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/molactual: 8.64 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 26.52 g
- 2. m = 39.53 g
- 3. m = 18.02 g
- 4. m = 29.17 g
- 5. Y = 85.01 %
- 6. Y = 84.97 %
