For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 32 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 C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, what mass m of H2O forms from 32 g of C3H8? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(C3H8) = 44.1 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
20 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
4.Medium
30 g of C3H8 and 48 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
5.Hard
In the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, 30 g of Al reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 134.9 g of AlCl3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/molactual: 134.9 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2, 16 g of Fe2O3 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 6.94 g of Fe is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69 g/molM(Fe) = 55.85 g/molactual: 6.94 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 53.05 g
