For the reaction 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO, what mass m of MgO forms from 16 g of Mg? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
Stoichiometry worksheet with answers
1.Easy
M(Mg) = 24.31 g/molM(MgO) = 40.3 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
For the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, what mass m of NH3 forms from 12 g of N2? Assume the other reactants are in excess.
M(N2) = 28.02 g/molM(NH3) = 17.03 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
10 g of CH4 and 32 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
4.Medium
12 g of Na and 80 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
5.Hard
In the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, 6 g of Na reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 8.39 g of NaCl is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(Na) = 22.99 g/molM(NaCl) = 58.44 g/molactual: 8.39 g
Y = %
6.Hard
In the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, 12 g of N2 reacts completely (the other reactants are in excess) and 11.38 g of NH3 is collected. Find the percent yield Y.
M(N2) = 28.02 g/molM(NH3) = 17.03 g/molactual: 11.38 g
Y = %
Answer key
- 1. m = 26.52 g
- 2. m = 14.59 g
- 3. m = 18.02 g
- 4. m = 30.5 g
- 5. Y = 55.01 %
- 6. Y = 78.02 %
