For the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, what mass m of NaCl forms from 40 g of Na? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 50 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
12 g of Na and 32 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
30 g of Mg and 24 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
5.Hard
In the reaction 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, 16 g of H2 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 78.66 g of H2O is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(H2) = 2.016 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/molactual: 78.66 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, 20 g of CH4 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 36.85 g of H2O is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(CH4) = 16.04 g/molM(H2O) = 18.02 g/molactual: 36.85 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 101.7 g
- 2. m = 82.89 g
- 3. m = 30.5 g
- 4. m = 49.73 g
- 5. Y = 55 %
- 6. Y = 82 %
