For the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, what mass m of CaO forms from 5 g of CaCO3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CaO) = 56.08 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, what mass m of AlCl3 forms from 20 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
10 g of CH4 and 48 g of O2 react according to CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. What mass m of H2O can form?
M(CH4) = 16.04M(O2) = 32M(H2O) = 18.02 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
12 g of C3H8 and 64 g of O2 react according to C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O. What mass m of CO2 can form?
M(C3H8) = 44.1M(O2) = 32M(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, 10 g of CH4 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 21.4 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 21.4 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, 12 g of C3H8 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 22.27 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(C3H8) = 44.1 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 22.27 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 2.801 g
- 2. m = 98.84 g
- 3. m = 22.47 g
- 4. m = 35.93 g
- 5. Y = 78 %
- 6. Y = 61.99 %
