For the reaction C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, what mass m of CO2 forms from 12 g of C3H8? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(C3H8) = 44.1 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 12 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
20 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
4.Medium
6 g of Al and 8 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 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, 24 g of Mg reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 29.84 g of MgO is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/molactual: 29.84 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, 10 g of Al reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 38.55 g of AlCl3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/molactual: 38.55 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 35.93 g
- 2. m = 19.89 g
- 3. m = 24.31 g
- 4. m = 10.03 g
- 5. Y = 75 %
- 6. Y = 78.01 %
