For the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 8 g of CaCO3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 10 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
30 g of CH4 and 32 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 Na and 16 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 CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, 10 g of CH4 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 15.73 g of H2O is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/molactual: 15.73 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, 24 g of CaCO3 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 12.24 g of CaO is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CaO) = 56.08 g/molactual: 12.24 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 3.518 g
- 2. m = 16.58 g
- 3. m = 22 g
- 4. m = 26.38 g
- 5. Y = 70.01 %
- 6. Y = 91.02 %
