For the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, what mass m of NH3 forms from 12 g of N2? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(N2) = 28.02 g/molM(NH3) = 17.03 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 5 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
4 g of CH4 and 8 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
24 g of Fe2O3 and 20 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 CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, 12 g of CaCO3 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 5.72 g of CaO is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CaO) = 56.08 g/molactual: 5.72 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, 10 g of Mg reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 10.28 g of MgO is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/molactual: 10.28 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 14.59 g
- 2. m = 8.289 g
- 3. m = 5.501 g
- 4. m = 16.79 g
- 5. Y = 85.07 %
- 6. Y = 62.01 %
