For the reaction C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 5 g of C6H12O6? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(C6H12O6) = 180.16 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 H2 and 40 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
4.Medium
10 g of N2 and 8 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
5.Hard
In the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, 10 g of CaCO3 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 2.42 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 2.42 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, 6 g of N2 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 5.11 g of NH3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(N2) = 28.02 g/molM(NH3) = 17.03 g/molactual: 5.11 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 2.443 g
- 2. m = 41.44 g
- 3. m = 45.05 g
- 4. m = 12.16 g
- 5. Y = 55.04 %
- 6. Y = 70.06 %
