For the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, what mass m of AlCl3 forms from 40 g of Al? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 100 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
24 g of Mg and 80 g of O2 react according to 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO. What mass m of MgO can form?
M(Mg) = 24.31M(O2) = 32M(MgO) = 40.3 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
16 g of Na and 32 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
5.Hard
In the reaction Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2, 10 g of Fe2O3 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 7.03 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 7.03 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, 16 g of CaCO3 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 4.92 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 4.92 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 197.7 g
- 2. m = 165.8 g
- 3. m = 39.79 g
- 4. m = 40.67 g
- 5. Y = 85.03 %
- 6. Y = 69.93 %
