For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 64 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 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, what mass m of NaCl forms from 16 g of Na? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
16 g of C3H8 and 20 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
4 g of Fe2O3 and 16 g of CO react according to Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2. What mass m of Fe can form?
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69M(CO) = 28.01M(Fe) = 55.85 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 16.37 g of Fe is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69 g/molM(Fe) = 55.85 g/molactual: 16.37 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, 20 g of CH4 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 46.64 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 46.64 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 106.1 g
