For the reaction Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2, what mass m of Fe forms from 16 g of Fe2O3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69 g/molM(Fe) = 55.85 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2, what mass m of C2H5OH forms from 64 g of C6H12O6? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(C6H12O6) = 180.16 g/molM(C2H5OH) = 46.07 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
30 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 N2 and 24 g of H2 react according to N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3. What mass m of NH3 can form?
M(N2) = 28.02M(H2) = 2.016M(NH3) = 17.03 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, 12 g of Na reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 16.78 g of NaCl is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/molactual: 16.78 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, 24 g of Mg reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 35.01 g of MgO is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/molactual: 35.01 g
Y = %
