For the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 12 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 Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 8 g of Fe2O3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
8 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
8 g of H2 and 80 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 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, 16 g of Al reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 71.95 g of AlCl3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/molactual: 71.95 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, 8 g of CH4 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 18.66 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 18.66 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 5.276 g
- 2. m = 6.614 g
- 3. m = 20.34 g
- 4. m = 71.51 g
- 5. Y = 91 %
- 6. Y = 85.01 %
