For the reaction Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2, what mass m of Fe forms from 32 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 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 40 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
16 g of Mg and 20 g of O2 react according to 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO. What mass m of MgO can form?
M(Mg) = 24.31M(O2) = 32M(MgO) = 40.3 g/mol
m = g
4.Medium
30 g of Al and 24 g of Cl2 react according to 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3. What mass m of AlCl3 can form?
M(Al) = 26.98M(Cl2) = 70.9M(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3, 24 g of Al reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 104.4 g of AlCl3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Al) = 26.98 g/molM(AlCl3) = 133.33 g/molactual: 104.4 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2, 4 g of CaCO3 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 1.09 g of CO2 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CaCO3) = 100.09 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/molactual: 1.09 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 22.38 g
- 2. m = 66.31 g
- 3. m = 26.52 g
- 4. m = 30.09 g
- 5. Y = 88 %
- 6. Y = 61.97 %
