For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 40 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 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, what mass m of H2O forms from 16 g of H2? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(H2) = 2.016 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
30 g of C3H8 and 8 g of O2 react according to C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O. What mass m of CO2 can form?
M(C3H8) = 44.1M(O2) = 32M(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
8 g of H2 and 20 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 N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, 24 g of N2 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 27.42 g of NH3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(N2) = 28.02 g/molM(NH3) = 17.03 g/molactual: 27.42 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, 6 g of C3H8 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 8.34 g of H2O is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(C3H8) = 44.1 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/molactual: 8.34 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 66.31 g
- 2. m = 143 g
- 3. m = 6.602 g
- 4. m = 22.52 g
- 5. Y = 93.99 %
- 6. Y = 85.04 %
