For the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 32 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 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, what mass m of NaCl forms from 50 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
10 g of Na and 80 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
4.Medium
4 g of Fe2O3 and 40 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 C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, 30 g of C3H8 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 36.78 g of H2O is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(C3H8) = 44.1 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/molactual: 36.78 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, 12 g of Al reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 53.96 g of AlCl3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/molactual: 53.96 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 14.07 g
- 2. m = 127.1 g
- 3. m = 25.42 g
- 4. m = 2.798 g
- 5. Y = 75.01 %
- 6. Y = 90.99 %
