For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 20 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 20 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
20 g of Al and 16 g of Cl2 react according to 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3. What mass m of AlCl3 can form?
M(Al) = 26.98M(Cl2) = 70.9M(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
30 g of C3H8 and 80 g of O2 react according to C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O. What mass m of H2O can form?
M(C3H8) = 44.1M(O2) = 32M(H2O) = 18.02 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 4 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 4 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, 16 g of Na reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 22.37 g of NaCl is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/molactual: 22.37 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 33.16 g
- 2. m = 178.8 g
- 3. m = 20.06 g
- 4. m = 36.04 g
- 5. Y = 90.97 %
- 6. Y = 55 %
