For the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 40 g of CaCO3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 25 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
16 g of Na and 64 g of Cl2 react according to 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl. What mass m of NaCl can form?
M(Na) = 22.99M(Cl2) = 70.9M(NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
24 g of H2 and 10 g of O2 react according to 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. What mass m of H2O can form?
M(H2) = 2.016M(O2) = 32M(H2O) = 18.02 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2, 8 g of C6H12O6 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 3.67 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(C6H12O6) = 180.16 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 3.67 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, 4 g of N2 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 3.99 g of NH3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(N2) = 28.02 g/molM(NH3) = 17.03 g/molactual: 3.99 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 17.59 g
- 2. m = 41.44 g
- 3. m = 40.67 g
- 4. m = 11.26 g
- 5. Y = 93.9 %
- 6. Y = 82.06 %
