For the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, what mass m of CaO forms from 25 g of CaCO3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CaO) = 56.08 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 64 g of CaCO3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
16 g of CH4 and 24 g of O2 react according to CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. What mass m of CO2 can form?
M(CH4) = 16.04M(O2) = 32M(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
16 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 Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2, 30 g of Fe2O3 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 15.38 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 15.38 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, 20 g of Na reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 44.74 g of NaCl is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/molactual: 44.74 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 14.01 g
- 2. m = 28.14 g
- 3. m = 16.5 g
- 4. m = 11.26 g
- 5. Y = 62.01 %
- 6. Y = 88 %
