For the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, what mass m of CO2 forms from 100 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 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 50 g of Mg? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
24 g of Fe2O3 and 40 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
4 g of Al and 32 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 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, 16 g of Al reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 59.3 g of AlCl3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/molactual: 59.3 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, 20 g of C3H8 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 24.52 g of H2O is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(C3H8) = 44.1 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/molactual: 24.52 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 274.4 g
