For the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, what mass m of AlCl3 forms from 8 g of Al? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 20 g of CaCO3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
4 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
24 g of Fe2O3 and 8 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 Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2, 24 g of Fe2O3 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 13.89 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 13.89 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, 12 g of Na reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 25.01 g of NaCl is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/molactual: 25.01 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 39.53 g
- 2. m = 8.794 g
- 3. m = 10.98 g
- 4. m = 10.63 g
- 5. Y = 70 %
- 6. Y = 81.99 %
