For the reaction Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 12 g of Fe2O3? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Fe2O3) = 159.69 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2, what mass m of CO2 forms from 32 g of C6H12O6? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(C6H12O6) = 180.16 g/molM(CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
30 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
4.Medium
24 g of CH4 and 80 g of O2 react according to CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. What mass m of H2O can form?
M(CH4) = 16.04M(O2) = 32M(H2O) = 18.02 g/mol
m = g
5.Hard
In the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, 20 g of N2 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 20.66 g of NH3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(N2) = 28.02 g/molM(NH3) = 17.03 g/molactual: 20.66 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, 4 g of Mg reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 6.03 g of MgO is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/molactual: 6.03 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 9.921 g
